Recently, in Italy it was introduced a new law, the “good school” that dictates certain rules for the design of learning spaces. This has raised the question: Traditional Italian schools are suitable for the learning? after a study our answer was no, they are all buildings designed in the past and which do not meet any standards of flexibility essential today.

It was necessary to overturn the concept of school building to which we were accustomed, looking at contemporary architecture in Europe and in the world.

We have studied many works of architects to search on a construction technology that would allow the maximum flexibility of spaces, we found the solution in the “Kunsthaus Graz” designed by Peter Cok. We have analyzed and adapted the construction technology to the context and to our needs; we successively built an example of primary school as well as should be thought of it twenty-first century.

The result is a deliberately foreign project to the context, this is because the model must meet only the use requirements and can be built where it is needed.

Also the colors are essential in the learning process; that’s why it is Necessary to abandon the brown tones of the Italian schools for more stimulating colors (red, yellow) or relaxing (blue) secondo the activities to be performed.
