The new nursery school in Guastalla, Italy, is a project that followed the 2012 earthquake reconstruction in the Pianura Padana Valley and that hosts up to 120 children aged 0 to 3 years. The concept was born after the belly of the whale in the Italian Novel Pinocchio. The project aims at promoting children's interaction with the surrounding space through an educational vision where everything - from the distribution of the classrooms to the selection of the construction materials and the integration between interiors and exteriors - is planned down to the finest detail.
