Abstract


This children's nursery has been provided so that the children of the town can be looked after during the periods when their mothers are busy collecting oranges. The building has, in addition to the director's quarters, eight school rooms, wash rooms, covered playing ground, indoor garden, living quarters for the nuns and a cloister. The various functional parts of the building are well differentiated, both spatially and in style. The lighting and ventilation has been the object of special study, and all the rooms have plenty of light, and are extremely diaphanous. The style aims at giving the children a sense of liberty, and integrating the beauty of the outdoor scenery with the indoor design. The structure is metallic, and the walls are made of light cream coloured brick in the schoolrooms, whilst the small convent walls have a rustic tyrolean surface.
