Liceo Franco Mexicano is an elementary school
located in the west part of Mexico, in the state of Jalisco. This
school decided to expand their installations, so that they can
provide new spaces for special activities for kids from 3 to 6 years
old. To achieve this goal, we decided to use all the
materials from the site. So that we could appreciate a vernacular
architecture without leaving behind innovation. That’s why the constructive system is based in
rammed earth walls formed by modules of 8 x 8m. By the way they are
placed, sometimes they confine new spaces.
It was very important to us, that the kids were
able to interact with nature, that’s why you can find different
colors, textures and landscape all over the project. The concept of this project is to create flexible
spaces, giving the opportunity to change the spatial configuration.
This is how you can experience a direct connection with the outside
and every module is open to a patio. The central tree plays a very important roll
because it connects all the spaces giving a different and innovative
place for the kids to learn.
