This school is the first one built under the typological design system. The organization is modular. Each classroom is a module of 7 x 7 meters integrated into an outdoor patio, which makes an extension of the academic field. It is intended for about 500 students, between morning and afternoon shifts, and workshops for the learning of trades. Its design aims for the physical space at the service of the pedagogical. The result is a functional school, spacious, with natural lighting in all rooms and a fluid interaction with the environment. In a very short time, the building, with the library, multimedia room and sports facilities, open to the community, has become a reference for the neighborhood and neighbors.
