Project for a new primary and high school in Lloret de Mar to accomodate 690 students from 3 to 16 years old.
The different needs in terms of space and program for the diverse ranges of age of the future users, added to the strong gradient of the slope and hard constraints about budget and construction period appear to be determining factors for the final design.
The proposal adopts the construction of terraces as the main strategy to fragment both the site and the program, using a single industrialized and structural concrete element. Each building acts as the containing wall of every terrace, and configures its own exterior space, its own way of relating to the site and to the climate, its own piece of sun and sky and offers to the teachers and kids different areas for learning and resting throughout the different periods of their studies.
A building that takes advantage of the benefits of the industrialized construction to configure spaces able to host the ghanging diversity of the students, with the desire of keeping searching kind systems of relating men with the environment. -
