The N. Sauro Primary School takes on the shape of a whale: the territorial matrices are simple, but their adherence results in an overall design closely related to the context. The opaque envelope appears compact and uniform, while the transparent openings characterize all facades with sinuous lines reminiscent of the whale’s forms. The inspiration for this design is further reinforced by the teal color of the facade cladding and roof. The primary school is a whale: for us to create iconic buildings means stimulating their recognizability and sense of belonging by the citizen!
The entire study of the project proposal of the project team in charge was directed towards the conception of an architecture capable of covering a new centrality within the Brugnera Community. The strong iconographic power of the new schools stems from the need to offer at the same time a functional and contemporary building able to be immediately recognizable and identifiable. The territorial matrices are simple, but their respect will determine an overall plant strongly related to the context. The project for the new school center establishes a visual and functional language between them going to constitute a modern school complex that can fully meet the needs of the contracting station.
The project develops the design paradigms foreseen for the construction of an NZEB school complex, with a low primary energy requirement, which mainly uses renewable energy sources. In the design of the enclosures, we opted for dry-mounted packages on steel struts and sleepers, a durable, durable coating that is easy to inspect and replace in the event of damage. Energy efficient enclosures have low transmittance values that can guarantee very high thermo-hygrometric performance for very long times, lowering the demand for heating and cooling of the rooms. The recovery of rainwater for reuse of the services of the building. Primary school has an X-LAM panel structure in use class IV, with a reference period of 100 years.
The school building consists of two levels. The plan develops from the outline of the existing school extending northwards, with classrooms arranged along the east side of the building and the canteen with its services in the west side. The connection developed in the middle represents, together with the services and stairs block, the functional heart of the building: a space of socialization and encounter in direct communication with the various environments present. The filter area immediately after the atrium also has an additional specific role, acting as a distribution hub between the school block and the existing buildings, which are accessed from the same compass. The casing is compact and homogeneous, making it more monolithic. The transparent openings, respecting all the limits of the hygiene regulations in force for the rooms of the classrooms and the canteen, characterize all the facades with sinuous shapes that recall the shapes of a whale, whose reference as design inspiration is also reinforced by the teal color of the facade and roof cladding.
The primary school of N. Sauro is the first piece of a very large project that involves the construction of a new school that will host 700 students, including the primary school N. Sauro and secondary A. Canova. A sculptural building that identifies the new centrality of the school system. The intervention opens the school area of the Brugnera Community, through proposals capable of creating connections between the school buildings and the surrounding urban fabric.
