Scuola come ecosistema creativo: l'esperienza progettuale per la green school a Selargius

The paper shares the experience of a green school project in the municipality of Selargius (CA), as part of the national MIUR competition for innovative schools. Two ideas drive the concept design of the school as a creative ecosystem: the hexagonal cell-module, implementing the building identity as a vital organism; the grid of green infrastructure, that the building complex triggers on an urban scale, creating the green park to encourage an acceleration of environmental and social dynamics for a new urban metabolism, fostering innovation and social involvement. Designed to encourage biodiversity, offering children a new way to learn environmental protection, the school complex is articulated as a green park: a wood building realized with environmentally friendly materials, a fluid plan that combines internal and external spaces, areas for the game and teaching activities. The building is designed to create the best conditions of wellbeing and energy and environmental sustainability and respect for safety. The high level of indoor comfort is favored by the use of eco materials, the optimization of natural daylighting and bioclimatic greenhouse, as well as the interaction of green spaces, the botanical garden, the green roof and green facades will implement the passive-evaporative cooling effect and environmental conscious behavior of children.
