The project transcends functionality, proposing a new model of learning environment where architecture, pedagogy, and emotion are interwoven in a coherent, spatial narrative. The conceptual idea draws inspiration from the school’s logo – the letter B. The vertical line symbolizes the solidity of knowledge, while the curve expresses imagination, care, and emotional growth.

These two forms became the compositional tools shaping the main building volumes, defining both plan organization and overall morphology. The spatial layout follows the philosophy of open and flexible education. Special emphasis is placed on sustainability and bioclimatic performance. Green roofs, architectural overhangs, colorful vertical louvers, and eco-sensitive materials contribute to an A+ energy-rated building, combining comfort with environmental responsibility.

Ergonomic design and clear circulation flows ensure a safe, adaptable, and aesthetically coherent environment.
