New Middle School in Puos d’Alpago

The New Middle School in Puos d’Alpago, Italy, designed by Facchinelli Daboit Saviane in 2024, centers on a “covered square” concept. The structure’s volume is suspended on four colored concrete nuclei, creating a civic centre and offering extracurricular functions. A tree-lined pedestrian axis runs through the building, while classrooms and laboratories alternate on two floors around the central square, providing visual permeability and a cohesive internal landscape. The design utilises advanced prefabrication technologies for its exposed concrete shell.

Visual permeability

The classrooms and laboratories alternate on two floors around the “square”, maintaining contact through windows and sliding walls.

The project aims for visual permeability between the various environments, creating an internal landscape.
