Nuova scuola nel centro storico del piccolo villaggio di Bagno di Romagna Manara Valgimigli

The project for the new high school in Bagno di Romagna proposes a new public building for the small village, a vital and needed civic reference where the community can gather and recollect. Predominantly horizontal, the school is characterized by its pitched roof. Facing east, it is constructed through the juxtaposition of further smaller double pitches that define a new front and illuminate the spaces in-between of the classrooms on the different floors. The ground floor continues the space of the neighboring square within the building, together with the auditorium and workshop rooms in the basement illuminated by gardens and patios.The large windows at the street level creates a quiet permeability allowing the civic center to be used beyond the school hours by the residents.
