New Teresianas Ganduxer school

New Teresianas Ganduxer school

Calle Ganduxer, 85 – Barcelona
Year: 2014
This is the extension of the School of the Teresianas in the street Ganduxer. The school, due to its patrimonial value, to the passage of the years and to the different educational reforms has been running out of sufficient spaces of classrooms and covered playgrounds. The new extension re-locates all the Bachillerato and ESO classes, as well as providing the school with a new sports space covered with the necessary infrastructures to be able to provide school and extra-school services.
 
The building had to talk about its time, without turning its back on the textures of the existing building, so we opted for a ceramic woven façade, which makes a great lattice, towards the street and light and bright elements into the interior of the school. This double skin that sieves thermal and light the interior allows a freedom and flexibility in the distribution of the windows and the opaque elements functionally necessary.
