RAISED FLOORS, FALSE CEILINGS AND WALL CLOSETS FOR AN ADAPTABLE AND FLEXIBLE "INTERACTIVE" SCHOOL

In the Building Automation section, we already talked about the importance of technical "tricks of the trade" to make spaces more flexible and adaptable. For example: raised floors and false ceilings.

To this theme, we must add "internal vertical partitions" or non-structural elements to divide spaces.

Open or closed spaces, angular or curved forms, resistant and durable or easily moved and planned. These are a few of the arguments that have always tormented school designers.

"Internal vertical partitions" have enriched the request for elements that can adapt to the probable modifications of space use and the consequential integration of facilities.

We believe that opaque or transparent mobile walls, already widely used in the service sector, could be a useful solution.

This is especially true if you analyze the costs: approximately 150,000 Lire per square meter for airbrick, including plaster work and painting, compared to 140,000 Lire per square meter of an opaque mobile wall, insulated and robust aluminum or fiberglass without the need of any structural support.
