Text description provided by the architects. It is the refurbishment of the ancient can rosés “masia” (farmhouse) as a temporary school, for a period of 3 years. The building had been renovated for a municipal library more than 20 years before. The interior spaces were diaphanous.

It is an alternative pilot test to prefabricated modules, which are a common system in similar temporary situations. In order to take advantage of disused buildings, we obtain lower investment costs and greater character and identity for the school.

On the ground floor, the reception areas and the administration office, the dining room, and a multipurpose room. The stage of it is placed in the center of the floor and articulates all the spaces around. On the first and second floors, two classrooms at the edges and a free space in between, for indeterminate uses that promote the application of new pedagogies and shared education between classrooms.

The temporary occupation of the building also required a playground, which was obtained by occupying the sidewalk in front of the building. A fence has been placed, done with a galvanized steel mesh, as transparent as possible. It is fixed to masonry benches that work as a foundation. These benches activate uses, both in the playground and in the sidewalk. Part of the “enclosed” sidewalk has been depaved, generating spaces with permeable floors that we hope will end up being left once the fence is dismantled.
