Villafranca Polyfunctional Center

Villafranca Polyfunctional Center

The project is located in direct relation to the west side of the Dossobuono school in a peripheral context that blends single-family houses with remnants of the beautiful agricultural fabric. The connection to the existing school occurs through contact with the internal corridor of the schools. The architecture presents itself as a suspended elementary prism, framed by a white metal profile containing facades in screen-printed glass. The building, with a trapezoidal floor plan, is spread over two levels. The first, partially underground, houses the local music band (-3.50m) and is connected to the ground with two opposing stair accesses. The other, intended for the school cafeteria (+1 m), is connected with two ramps that lean on the steel structure. The ramps are opposed to the fronts they rest on, generating a rotation effect relative to the volume.
