Zabalgana primary education center

Vitoria-Gasteiz
 - 2010

By means of an arrangement of two pieces in the form of opposite L, it is possible to generate the patios and the distinction of the educational phases present in the building (infantile and primary). Likewise, the proposal echoes two constructive strategies that define building.

The layout of a large, single-pitched roof gives the building unity, and a fifth facade allows for reliable drainage. Furthermore, the adoption of modular and standardized criteria allows for easy adaptation and renovation to meet the growing programmatic variations of preschool and primary cycles. The layout of the exterior spaces seeks protection from the elements through porches that guide students from the entrance to all areas of the school and also delimit the playgrounds. Furthermore, the placement of a green perimeter buffer softens the settling and protects the building on site.
