Text description provided by the architects.

More than beckoning, we wanted the project to make sense, considering the existing context.

To enlarge a school is to project oneself into the future and think about the duration. It is not enough to produce an operating building when it is delivered. It must be given the strength to go through time and be a powerful tool.
