PRECEDENT STUDIES:
Before beginning the project I made a research about three different schools, taking into account as the spaces, the organization of the plans, the design, the access and the context.

WHY THIS PROJECT?
This project interests me because I appreciate the idea that education must be conected with the external space. The inner courtyard connecting the internal classes with the external environments creates a system of perception about what is in and what is out, and breaks the traditional classroom style, improving the learning technics. I believe that this precedent will have a strong influence on my project because I also intend to create a free way of teaching site, making the streets and the city part of the class.

WHY THIS PROJECT?
Like any work of Le Corbusier, this is another impressive. The building is clearly modernist and contrasts with the traditional architectonic style of Harvard, ensuring that building devoted to the visual arts must be an experience of freedom and creativity unbound.
The plants allow flexibility in the spaces and uses, which is very useful for a building with this function, while the outer connection with the interior takes place very efficiently with the classic architecutral promenade designed by Le Corbusier.

WHY THIS PROJECT?
Every day more we need to think about how the environment responds to human interventions and get a good building that does not harm the environment is the key. Montpelier Community Nursery is a sustainable design that has a creative method of opening and lighting, taking advantage of the site.
In addition, it is a small and unique building that harmonizes with its surroundings, adding value to the gardens around and using them for the benefit of users. The conclusion would be that we have to take advantage of the site and the context and use it in your favor.
