The project of the new school in Messina, located in a residential area about 600 meters from the sea, has the ambitious objective of becoming a point of reference for the entire area, contributing to the social and cultural growth of the community. The building, divided into four main volumes on four levels, was conceived as a dynamic and flexible environment, capable of adapting to new teaching needs and accommodating diversified activities. The orography of the lot, slightly rising towards the north, influenced the design, creating an internal courtyard with two entrances at different levels.

Planning
The project deviates from the classic system of classrooms and corridors, favoring common and multifunctional spaces that encourage collaborative learning and social interaction. The ground floor, intended for educational laboratories, offices and a museum area, will be open to citizens outside of school hours, becoming a real "civic center". In fact, the first floor will host the library and an open space accessible to the community, promoting sharing and social interaction.
The second and third floors will be dedicated to classrooms, connected to each other by walkways that create a dynamic and functional design. The new school in Messina therefore presents itself as a place of learning, meeting and exchange for the entire community, a stimulating and innovative environment that contributes to the personal and social education of students.
