School complex Agoncillo

Summary

The proposal for the new school complex in Agoncillo was born from the idea of ​​creating a place, of an appropriate scale for children, in a context without references. In the absence of an urban environment, the objective is the transformation of an uninhabited land, which will constitute the new northern built limit of Agoncillo, into a habitable and friendly-scale space, whose design must establish its geometric, volumetric and spatial references practically from scratch.

Following this approach, the building and the porches surround the playground, defining its limits and interior facades. On the outside, the building follows the alignments of the streets to the north and east of the plot, forming a wall that breaks adapting to the perimeter of the plot. The ceramic materiality and its different geometries characterize this wall-fence-boundary.
