B.ARCH - PROJECT 06 Vigentino Primary School + Communtiy Hub

The brief for the project was to develop a proposal for our given site based on thorough contextual research. The site is in the north zone of Vigentino, a district in Milan, Italy. It’s one of the city’s most significant regeneration areas which includes the future 2026 Olympic Village.

22

The approach to the brief revolves around the idea of reinventing the school; Transforming an abandoned, lifeless site into the heart of the local community as a state of the art Primary school that functions as an out of hours communal-hub.

The intervention aims to bring people from all walks of life together in a location that will cultivate their children’s bright futures, through sustainable and modern architectural design.
