"The rainbow school" The success of teaching can depend on the school space and the use of color, together with the correct management of natural light, promotes learning and the well-being of students. The project of the school of San Martino di Lupari is based on these principles. The project responded to the need to expand the existing secondary school. The project responded to the need to expand and improve the existing secondary school.
The project responded to the need to expand and improve the existing secondary school. Inserted in the inner courtyard of the lot where the school stands, the new building is spread over three floors and has an almost rectangular shape with rounded corners. A central "excavation" in the compact form of the building houses, starting from the first floor, a large terrace, ensuring natural lighting and ventilation. To minimise the environmental impact, while improving people’s lives, natural materials, efficient plants and renewable energies were chosen.
An environmentally sustainable school hub, with high energy efficiency and the goal of achieving the classification of NZEB. An environmentally sustainable school hub with high energy efficiency and LEED© Gold certification. The structural construction technology chosen is in load-bearing walls in X-lam, for the opaque walls was evaluated the best composition of "package" from the point of view of thermal compliance: the glass parts in aluminum windows with thermal break and low-insulating glass emissive, paying particular attention to the control of surface temperature. The entire building envelope consists of double-clad metal panels with mineral wool insulation. A vertical louvre system, composed of aluminum sheet blades and painted in bright colors, completes the project.
The school is spread over three floors and makes it recognizable the casing consists of double metal clad panels with mineral wool insulation. The new building accommodates up to 525 students in 21 classrooms, 4 laboratories and a large multifunctional environment on each floor. These social spaces are part of the core of the building, with the classes located around the perimeter, maximizing the contribution of natural light inside and also favoring natural ventilation. For the interior design, materials were chosen that met high standards of durability according to the criteria of the EPD. The intervention also included the restoration of the natural ecosystem within the lot, paying particular attention to the design of the outdoor areas and the relationship between the building and the surrounding environment, through the reduction of the current waterproof surface and the constitution of new green areas with planting of new native tree species.
The project aims to provide the community with a project capable of integrating inclusive educational environments based on the concept of global learning. It also features flexible spaces that can accommodate the richness and variety of environments required for new educational needs. The new construction spans three above-ground levels and is situated within the inner courtyard of the same lot where the existing school stands.
