The importance of color, shapes, materials, in the relationship, child - environment is essential, not just a matter of language,  for building  a code that can be used in any way by the child, but for the construction of a psychological climate according to  the function  of  the place.   From this premise has been born the form of  the whole school complex.

The structure of the building is  wooden;  the green roofs  for  bioclimatic features, while a part of the glass elements will produce energy. trough  inclusion of photovoltaic cells. The classrooms are projected outward through the solar greenhouses  to improve the overall energy,  as well as becoming  a teaching space.
