Text description provided by the architects. Designed by Cleaa Claudio Lucchin & architetti associati as the extension of the professional school,it highlights the unexpected potentialities of the underground architecture, challenging the limits of thesustainability culture as we thought so far, as well as the contemporary design in historic centres. The idea of notaltering the ancient architectural context of the Capuchin friars convent -protected by the national heritageassociation- but the need for new spaces and classrooms, gave the architect the opportunity to create a“subterranean school appendix”: four levels excavated 17 meters underground on which 9 classrooms, 6workshops , a winter garden and a utility room are distributed.
