Polyfunctional School Center in Roncadelle

Polyfunctional School Center in Roncadelle

This project is part of a comprehensive redevelopment of the open spaces within the Roncadelle school campus in Brescia. The facility effectively engages with two key conditions: the park it faces and the interior of the enclosed area that it helps define. Towards the campus, it presents a more formal and representative front, characterized by a cantilevered glass volume covering the entrance ramp towards the courtyard. On the park-oriented side, the building fragments and takes on a domestic character, resembling a pavilion cut by a continuous glass ribbon at the lower part. The earthquake-resistant structure is entirely made of reinforced concrete, clad in brick with mortar of the same color, while the roof is made of titanium zinc sheet.
