Text description provided by the architects. Located in the central core of the school buildings inside the campus, it is found a remarkable semi-shade garden that groups nineteen medium-high trees and is outlined by the presence of the Sierra Madre Oriental, a mountain chain that frames the City of Monterrey. However, despite the charming narrative given to the garden, the real analogy was different. Before our design intervention on-site, the garden mainly functioned as a secondary path that students use to transit from classroom to classroom during class period change. Hallways and stairs were mainly occupied by students who used those transit spaces as encounter meeting points to socialize, study or relax. This ended in a space circulatory problem that put other students and teachers in real danger because of the people's conglomeration.
