The project involves the construction of a building on

two floor above ground, which has a covered area

of 765 sm, located in Ponte Buggianese. On ground

floor is located the municipal library, which has a

surface area of approximately 615 sm, and on the

first floor are located a number of classrooms and

other facilities of total 640 sm as extension of the

near primary school. The library has an independent

entrance from the school building and is not linked to

it because it has a function for the community.

The extension of primary school on the upper floor,

is connected by a small bridge with oval windows.

The location is the only possible, because naturally

lends itself to the continuation of the current primary

school. Compared to the rigidity and symmetry that

distinguishes the various bodies of the school district

this new building is characterized by its roundness

and partial contortions to make spaces less boring

and more “happy”. The atrium, collective activities,

have straight and curve walls. A series of circular

skylights supplying of natural light. Normal classrooms

are equipped with covered balconies , in

addition to move prospects of the external facade,

become the continuation of classrooms, for outdoor

activities.

On the Ground floor, opens the entrance of the

library. The glazed lobby is covered by a large portico

supported by two important pillars, wich allows even

here, the continuation of the library. The entrance of

the library was treated very carefully, trying to maintain

that tone of solemnity that have certain places

to make it more accessible. Then, the glass for its

transparency, allows you to see inside, and also at

night, light becomes a screen in which you can see

users and operators moving inside. The entry zone,

compared to the preliminary draft, has been extended

to about 40 sm following a request by the municipal

administration. Here are the tour information and loan

consultation area, for magazines and newspapers, 3

offices and toilets. Space lends itself also to house

temporary exhibitions. In the reading room, which occupies

an area of approximately 380 sm, incudes, in

addition to the shelving and reading tables, an area

with internet points.
