The project proposes to use an architectural sculpture to create the main entrance of the school, which so far is not identifiable. The objectives are as follows: Establish a main pedestrian entrance to the school, clearly identifiable. Activate the unused terraces of the school to integrate them into the entrance route. Integrate signage that is visible from public space reflect the particular questions taught within the school, through the choices of materialization. Create a unique meeting place, a spatial sequence allowing users to meet and meet there.
