School and Cultural Facility

The aim of my final project is to revitalise an area of Sevilla and to revive bring the existing buildings back into use. The design brief consists of a school, whereas there are other uses too which can be either connected or autonomous of to the school. It´s depend of depending on the hour of the day.

The site has existing buildings These buildings which were used when the railway passed there. The old station of San Bernardo is nearby.


The school is inserted between the existing buildings with a stretching programme. This shape of the building creates different outside play spaces.
The programme of the school is stretched between these existing buildings creating different outside play spaces: defining rather than occupying space.

All classrooms are connected to outside classrooms to enable teaching in the natural environment. Furthermore, Natural light is integral both to the classrooms and to the communal spaces.

Its structure is metallic to allow the use of large spans.
The steel frame structure and use of large spans allows the classroom spaces to be flexible and mobile.

  1. Sandra, well done! I like this description of your project and my only criticism is that there isn't an image of the building. I know the site well and it is always so sad to pass it and see it neglected. I love the existing buildings, the metal water tanks particularly.

    I didn't have to correct very much, your English is fine. I have suggested alternative ways of expressing the same idea, and added words to help link ideas. But on the whole it's a good description and I hope you are very pleased. I am.
