Replacement of the School Building "Sec. I - Falerna M." by demolition and reconstruction

Construction of New Schools through Building Replacement (Mission 2, Component 3, Investment 1.1)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the progressive replacement of part of the building stock of public schools with the aim of creating modern and sustainable structures.

The objectives of the interventions are the reduction of energy consumption, an increased seismic safety of buildings, and the development of green areas.

The plan is expected to target 166 school buildings, with a total of 400 thousand m².

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 1 billion.

As part of this investment, the project aims to achieve sustainable architecture with bioecological structures, natural materials, clean energy.

The main architectural concepts that suggested the compositional-design choices are:
- Landscape integration.

Minimum environmental impact
- Orientation of classes.

Maximum lighting comfort and solar input
- Genius loci with context.

Relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The school building is no longer conceived as a container isolated from the context in which activities are carried out inside a closed classroom, but becomes a fundamental part of the city, a place of interaction, permeable to the stimuli of the surrounding environment.

This innovative concept is fully reflected in the design and compositional methodology of the planned building body.

In fact, the school building has been designed in such a way as to allow a composition and aggregation of the spaces and their respective volumes, respecting not only the architectural and compositional rules, but also the legislative ones.

In addition, the implementing rules for overcoming architectural barriers and all rules relating to fire prevention safety for school buildings have been taken into account.

Of great importance are the green spaces outside the school.
