The contest theme is the enlargement of the Primary School “La Favorita” and the extracurricular services in order to regenerate this urban area in the city of Corbetta.
The project develops according to three principles: the correct integration with the urban contest, the planning of moderns and flexibles interior spaces and tecnologicals solutions aimed towards the environmental sustainability and consumption containment.
The project allowed the realization of a civic center that complete the existents functions like school and gym with a series of others structures that improve the functional mixitè of the urban area, like un auditorium, residential buildings with commercial services on the ground floor, outdoor sports fields, a library and a new school complex containing 25 classroom, laboratories and services.

The buildings have been designed on a completely dry constructive system, steel structure, that allows to make larges spans, predict a possible alternative use of the complex and realize its future disposal and ricicle. The orientation of the building complex guarantee the biggest contribution of natural lights in the classroom during the lessons and the moderns mechanical systems to shade the interior spaces allow the correct and gradual diffusion of lights. The study of winds allowed the design of strategics windows aimed at the energy saving according to the utilization of natural currents. The selected technological systems work through renewable energy and include: photovoltaic system, heating solar system for hot water and a rainwater storage tank.
