Municipal Facilities The building consists of the Infant and Primary School fashion consulting group Sant Martí, with two-storey parking basement and a Neighborhood Center-School for Adults. It is the lower parking fashion consulting group which sets the grid basis on which programs are organized in plants emerging from the ground level.
The building is inserted into a high-density environment fashion consulting group where the Eixample Cerdà collides with the industrial fabric of Poblenou. The density of the program (interior and exterior), the dimensions of the site, planning fashion consulting group restrictions and immovable position of one of the programs (underground parking) favor the clear decision to organize school project by a system of alternating bands of empty and full, with maximum program available downstairs and where all covers become playgrounds of the school. This alternation allows and improves lighting, ventilation and a view of the interior spaces of the school.
The ground floor courtyards maintain fashion consulting group direct fashion consulting group visual relationship with the side passages that surround the site, minimizing the building's impact on the environment of residential buildings. These side walls, textured concrete, sober, fashion consulting group uniform, unify the volumes of the different programs and increasing heights from the Rambla del Poblenou to the street of Sant Joan de Malta.
The succession of walls perpendicular to these passages, industrialized construction and dry, include street facades and interior walls to patios. fashion consulting group The exterior image of the school is homogeneous and sober voluntarily in response to environmental heterogeneity. Instead, the inner life of the school is diverse, full of color and freshness.
How to re-think fashion consulting group a school, from the urbanity of its location? Currently, the chips regulations and guidelines that guide the development of this type of equipment, are indifferent to the site and develop the same requirements of semi-outdoor spaces and exteriors, be placed in a rural setting or in an entirely fashion consulting group urban.
These requirements result in very extensive and permeable schools fashion consulting group in rural and in schools too compact and impervious to the city in urban environments. From the beginning, the project Santmartí School is willing to create fashion consulting group a school wide, extensive, sensitive and permeable to the environment, but primarily urban.
The construction of the two basement floors of underground parking in public ownership, allow us to understand the whole school as a large deck, and rethink this as the play areas of the school. It generates a variety of types of outdoor spaces, such as: street level patios, porches related to these courtyards, vast open spaces on the first floor, and space for gardens on roof floor (+3), organized the program in terms of your relationship with them.
Along with this sequence of outdoor spaces, the materiality of the facades, in relation to these outdoor spaces inside the school, and heterogeneous urban environment, make the external image of the School. The side walls, where there is permeability between the courtyards and side passages materialize so heavy, very tectonics, with textured concrete walls and perforated steel enclosure forming an abstract pattern.
In contrast, the other facades, either street or to the interior of the school exterior is constructed with a pre-industrialized, dry mounting fast execution, by a Leaf Ventilated Façade Interior Light, high performance energy.
The constructive solution of the covers is sensitive to their importance in the building (by program and extension). A Walkable Ventilated Cover allows these climate behavior in the whole building is excellent. Constructive solutions decks, facades, of your sunscreen to south and connecting school to urban system Districlima build an urban school with Energy Certification Class A.

In my humble opinion, a very complex project. Solved with simplicity and taking advantage of all the variables that were raised. fashion consulting group A school that shuns the stereotypical image of an annex to the main building yard with fence. fashion consulting group The facades that generate city, giving privacy to both neighbors and school children. A succession of volumes, from less to more and to revitalize a dead zone for many years has been one of the great gaps in the Rambla de poblenou. Shortly photogenic ... could be. Not mediatico ... surely. Burst of color ... and why not? I guess after studying architecture fashion consulting group for many years, and know in advance that difficult s
