The geometric and compositional genesis of the project is the circle, a symbol of perfection which, thanks to its symmetry, ensures an absolute balance of spatial relationships, dialogues and comparisons of its various parts. The project is characterized by the circular shape of the large Main Garden, the heart of the project around which educational activity is organized and comes to life, always visually in contact with Nature.
The landscape that welcomes the school opens completely to Nature; we imagine a building constructed in wood, predominantly transparent to maintain constant visibility of the landscape. A very thin wooden plane as the roof marks the division between the place of knowledge and the sky, reaching a maximum height of 8.4 meters above ground.
