Adult school, cultural center and housing block

The volumetric shape of this building is decided by the different regulation that affect the plot, conditioning the building's height throughout its length. Although the facade is continuous, it has to take into account the hight changes, presenting a total height that includes a ground floor + 2 floors in the Santiago Rusiñol's street and the Generalitat's avenue, and growing in the center up to a total height that includes a ground floor + 5 floors, having two small height transitions on each side alongside the Santiago Rusiñol's street that have total height that include a ground floor + 4 floors.

The building has three underground floors used as storage rooms and parking lots. The ground floor is reserved for shops and entrances to the building.

The south east facade, that covers the adult school program, is integrated with the green space in front of the building in order to become a visual reference perceivable from the Generalitat's avenue.

From the exterior, the school's facades are covered with the same materials as the rest of the building, allowing it to be seen as a continuation of the building instead of a separate entity. It reuses the metal railing as solar protection and the cantilevers as terraces.

The building is constructed in order to allow both, the school and the cultural center to work independently without interfering with each other. With this plan, the ground floor and first underground level are used for the cultural center whilst the floor plants are used for the school program.

All the building's floors are united by a vertical stairway surrounded by glass, allowing the relationship and illumination of all the interior spaces.

The building is formed by nine classrooms and a library distributed along the first and second floor. On the ground floor there's an administration area, a room for the teaching staff and a self-learning room. In the first underground level, there's a polyvalent classroom and a workshop. The second ground floor is reserved for storage and material delivery.
