In 1984, the Province of Milan adapted the design idea system to define the interventions on scholastic buildings, laid out by Cisem, Arch. Ponti and Selleri, and by the building sector of the Province of Milan Ing. D'Aquino and Arch. Gallinella. There were many reasons for Type design: |
|||
|
- to give a technical tool and to analyze the ability to respond to the educational and administrative needs emerging in the 80s, - to give space to the new technical-educational possibilities that would develop in the future, - to exit from the qualitative limits formed by school building standards. |

At the base of this input are the in depth and updated studies on the relationship between space and education, the concept of a scholastic center is talked about again as a container of scholastic and public activities and the problem of reducing construction and management costs to be held with certain standards. The system established a type of design based on and grid, characteristics and features of the single spaces, and composite, combinable spaces in relation to varied needs. It has more than three diverse ways to join classrooms and communal areas to use according to context and need: |
Gymnasium
Multipurpose room |
|
| Legend
Typological based nucleus Special joint nuclei Gymnasium nucleus

"PLATE" TYPE: compact solutions featuring communal areas with independent access but integrated in the building body.
"CLUSTER" TYPE: open solution with communal areas partly integrated in the building but usually with external access.
"IN LINE" TYPE: solution that takes advantage of solar light/energy and with communal areas separate from scholastic. |

Uniting spaces must be designed keeping in mind precise input: - they must be easily joined to allow variable sized for 625, 875, 1250 students, - they must have communal spaces with the possibility to diversify locations when and where necessary, easily accessible from outside and for public use, - they must permit all energy conservation plans to be executed, - they must allow scholastic or preexisting public buildings to be united, - they must house the M2:student ratio (approximately 10 M2 per student for a 1250 student building, - they must permit educational activities based on the idea of the traditional style. |

The executive design, followed by the Scholastic Building Sector of the Province of Milan, is allowed to give an architectural and typological authority to the designs drawn by the system, making it possible, at the same time, to use diverse building techniques during the construction phase. This is so the market and the different possibilities would not be conditioned and for the need to guarantee varied image solutions depending on the context. During the design phase, particular attention has been dedicated to the availability and accessibility of areas. The multipurpose area was taken form the entrance atrium in order to obtain the dual use of access and communal function. The transparent glass walls make the area's functions visible where possible. Large rib-like skylights connect the various educational areas and light the multipurpose room below, giving the building structure the perception of completeness.
