Its volume of irregular articulated geometry seeks to escape the conditions given by the heights of the terrain. Like a monoscope, the volume searches for the most fascinating images of the landscape and frames them like a photographer within the window frames. We have chosen compacted adobe as a material to have the lowest possible C02 footprint with the building, and thus offer warmer surfaces and environments for children, in turn allowing the interior of the classrooms, a natural regulation of humidity in the ambient. This passive regulation system has also been implemented in hospitals, archiving great results in the passive natural regulation of humidity in the space.
