New Elementary School at Sempione, in Busto Arsicio

Abstract

The initial project involves six classrooms, a gymnasium, teacher's room, dining hall, services, and ancillaries, but initially only six classrooms, the entrance hall, the teacher's room, a house for the doorman, and necessary services have been built. The plan distribution is arranged in the form of two nuclei of three or four classrooms each, and a common hall and services. The buildings are grouped, together with the gymnasium and entrance hall, round a large patio, and a garden also forms part of the general design. The architect has made good use of stone, exposed concrete, metal frames, large glazed surfaces, to attain an original and attractive design.
