Master plan. Second prize in competition.

The master plan reorganises the school through a sequence of courtyards and circulation axes. A new civic courtyard brings together retained buildings and new programmes, including a proposed oratory on its southern edge. Edificio L contains a dining hall, auditorium and learning spaces; the kindergarten moves to the northern edge, with its own entrance from Las Hualtatas. A second skin of prefabricated elements moderates the exposure of new façades towards the neighbourhood.

The civic courtyard connects the entrance and the school buildings. A perimeter overhang provides a continuous sheltered route, and the proposed oratory joins the courtyard’s southern edge.
