Design choices are guided by three main ethical principles generating just as many symbolic forms expressing these concepts also physically in a simple and easy way.
- The school as a place of participation and a theater of life;
- The school as a place of physical and information flow, as a dynamic place, as a social and cultural condenser;
- The school as a respect for nature, for the environment and for others
The project interpretates the new school area as an opportunity to reconnect various parts of Vicchio public space, both paved and green, creating a pedestrian network and compensating a relationship with the natural surroundings.
