I believe that having the chance to attend to a school whith these qualities opens up the mind of the students, i dont think it is natural or casual for them to interact with a space like this. None the less i believe that there is no natural authenthicity to the project, the distribution of space is completely arbitrary, and could easily be placed in some other site. If the architects talk about integrating the community in a conceptual way, where leftovers become parks, they might aswell reflect this in the distribution and the arrangement of the space. How does the traffic and the streets affect the area, circulation etc, because if its about the parks theres a huge one right next to it. And the video just shows how arbitrary it is.

The total integration with its surroundings is fantastic ! the juxtaposition of great materials and its geometry is just superb ! i just think it reflects a culture and its people and that what makes architecture such a unique profession.

Even more so considering the context (btw I wouldn't exactly call it monotonous...), it's great to see that the authorities are trying to improve the quality of life in these poor neighborhoods and that they realized how important architecture can be to achieve that. This is one of the best examples of architecture I have seen recently, not only because of its qualities as a design but for its social dimension. Another wonderful project by Mazzanti.
