School of the future

Site Location: via Massaua 5, MI, Italy

Type: Educational

Collaborator: Kamelia Bozushka, Anna Giulia Faccin

The project challenge is to design an elementary school which is themed as ‘School of the Future’. The goal is to build a learning centre where children are encouraged to and feel excited to go to everyday and place can serve its community when school hours are over. Safety is as well essential.

The site is located in a busy street of via Massaua 5, Milan, Italy, in a current elementary school.

The main goal of the design process is to create a form which outstands from its surroundings. Shared spaces and pathways from the two metro lines were as well considered for the safety and connectivity of the school area.

The organic shape of the school broke the system of its neighbourhood which gives it more character and an infinite form. Different floor levels were as well designed to have various effects on the four façades. Futhermore, it has radial structural system of pillars which make its interior more playful.
