NEW PRIMARY SCHOOL IN VIA A. LOCATELLI, BIASSONO (MB) - International school competition, 2nd prize, 2025
The project for the new school complex in Biassono includes the school, a gym, a school courtyard, a square designed for dual use (civic and educational) and a large park to the east. The urban layout enhances the scale of the large urban voids of the town's squares, with a mirrored division between the solid structure of the school and the open space of the park.
The gym is the connecting building between the town and the new primary school. It is a block that is both massive and light, thanks to the filigree of the external metal structure and the light that shines through from the inside. The volume of the changing rooms, set back, creates the main public front of the complex.
The school, with its linear development, has a light and permeable external envelope that redefines the relationship between the building and its surroundings.
If the gym building is the centre of the urban image, the square is the heart of the complex, designed as a meeting place for schoolchildren, athletes and citizens. During school hours, it can be closed and become the exclusive property of the school, but when the gates are opened, it becomes a meeting place, an event venue and a playground for the community.
