The project proposed a three dimensional building arrangement defined by a rectangular roofing plate enclosing the school recreational activities area. The individual sections, with their subsidiaries, are structured independently of the roofing, and protrude into the yard and garden without damaging the existing trees. The large metal roof, where photovoltaic and solar panels are installed, is “perforated” by cavities and roof vents ensuring an adequate internal passive ventilation system.
