The aim of the competition, organized by the City of Zaldibar, was the completion of two buildings that could work independently: A kindergarten for children aged 2-3 years that would be integrated into the existing school complex, and a nursery for children 0-2 years that could operate independently. Under this premise, and seeking architectural appropriateness and quality of the technical proposal, priorities valued in the competition were: rapid construction, ideally during summer to avoid disrupting school activities and allowing two separate construction phases for each building, an economical design, and a proposal of energy efficiency systems and production of renewable eneregy integrated into the architectural design.
