Description
To design a school is first and foremost an opportunity to reactivate the city both from an urban perspective and a social one. These principles have shaped the proposal for the new middle school in Via Strozzi: the project is a part of a vaster requalification intervention, promoted by the municipality of Milan for the redevelopment of a degraded area, stressed by a heavy urban and social neglect.
The flexibility of the internal partitions and the modularity of the structural elements, mostly in wood, mold an inspiring and innovative space, in which the variation of functions meets the changing needs of the users.
Sustainability and community work together towards defining the new school.
