The project focuses on the restoration of industrial premises for a new educational use. This is why the proposed design establishes a rigorous respect between the formal, constructive and material features in the existing and new parts of the building. And for this reason the materials used for the building’s exterior will be: facing brickwork for the restoration and renovation of the façade in the B3 and B5 warehouses and brick panel faces, prefab concrete panels, transparent glass and polycarbonate in the new extended parts.
