“A homogeneous architectural organism, not intended as a simple addition of spatial elements, to all students and educational programs” AF
The project for the Enrico Fermi school is based on some fundamental points which can be summarized here in the following actions:
– guarantee services and equipment that make the educational process efficient;
– provide uncovered areas equipped to allow for a permanent performance, even outdoors, of educational activities;
– ensure a homogeneous architectural organism, not intended as a simple addition of spatial elements, to all students and educational programs;
