Kindergarten
The project involves the creation of a new kindergarten, conceived as the second lot for the completion of an innovative school complex in the Municipality of Uta. This initiative, supported by European funding through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), aims to define an advanced educational model, focusing not only on learning but also on the quality and harmony of spaces.
Architecture plays a central role in creating an environment that promotes educational continuity and a profound dialogue between form and pedagogical function. The building is designed to integrate harmoniously with the territorial context, drawing on the environmental and cultural peculiarities of the area. The idea of a "school in the green" materializes in a design that favors sustainability and a teaching approach that extends fluidly between indoor and outdoor spaces. This means creating a structure that dialogues with the surrounding landscape, a true open-air didactic laboratory. Flexibility and space optimization are guiding principles of the architectural design. The environments are conceived to be modular and adaptable, ensuring a clear, welcoming, and functional spatial experience for diverse educational needs. Particular attention is paid to energy efficiency, with the adoption of cutting-edge construction solutions and the use of bio-compatible materials, which contribute to making the building an intrinsically sustainable organism.
The school complex is harmoniously integrated into a park that evokes Uta's agricultural identity and its proximity to the WWF oasis of Monte Arcosu, where greenery becomes a structural and conceptual element of the project. This "natural garden" is not merely an ornament, but an extension of the classroom, allowing students daily interaction with nature and stimulating botanical and faunal studies. Traditional teaching blends with outdoor experience, transforming the environmental context into an active and vital component of the educational pathway.
Following important archaeological findings at the first lot's site, the project underwent a revision that led to a solution aimed at minimizing the building's impact on the subsoil, preserving ample areas for future archaeological investigations. Conceptual continuity with the existing first lot has been maintained, ensuring aesthetic and functional coherence. The load-bearing structure mainly consists of reinforced concrete beams and pillars with hollow-core concrete slabs, ensuring robustness and durability. However, for the canteen and gym areas, the choice fell on glulam beams and a lighter roof, highlighting a material and structural diversification that optimizes spaces and functions.
