Excerpt: Villa Lobos School, an institutional architecture project by Obra Arquitetos, encourages coexistence and responsibility among students through generous, open, and connected spaces. The school building, spanning from nursery to pre-university courses, is structured around a square with different levels and paths for proper functioning, ensuring separation between different spaces.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The school building is organized around a square. Around it, generous, open and connected spaces encourage the development of a degree of coexistence and responsibility among students.
The creation of different levels on the land and paths between specific spaces made possible the necessary separation for the proper functioning of the school, considering that it serves everything from nursery to pre-university courses. The building has a total built area of 4000m2, distributed among 29 classrooms, two laboratories, library, courtyards, two canteens/cafeteria, covered sports court, administrative and pedagogical spaces, technical area and specific spaces according to the needs of each age group.
It was built using a prefabricated reinforced concrete system. During the design phase, an attempt was made to optimize the potential of this construction system, either by promoting better integration with complementary projects or by standardizing engineering and architectural solutions that would make manufacturing, assembly and interface with other systems more efficient.
