In the origin of the word school - σχολή - space and time are a necessary condition for speculation and formation.
Combining space and time means constructing an open and evolutionary architectural body, able to offer free spaces for free activities.
As in the painting by Piero di Cosimo Construction of a building, the school is an intelligent entity open to multiple uses, an active field, laboratory and theater of events and activities, permanent and temporary.
It is an informal space for learning, experimentation, space design and construction.
The public space, the matrix of the whole system of relations, moves from the horizontal plane of the field to the vertical one of the inhabited wall, a bioclimatic border that welcomes open and connective teaching environments, the nursery of the new approaches to pedagogy, the informal place for research, spirit of initiative , empowerment and interpersonal exchange.
