Ate Pjeter Meshkalla Secondary School

In 2006 project won the International Competition on calls for a school than in the city of Scutari (Albania) held by the Company of the Jesuits. The school complex is located in the center of buildable area and all areas of the relationships, the green and the various activities are open to the outside and relate directly to the city. The lot for which the intervention operates, therefore, as an “urban void” in a large plate/block city center, via the arteries of different sizes, located almost in the middle of an intersection virtual.

The buildings are arranged on the area forming a sort of “semi-open court” to the main entrance, around this grow, on average, on four levels, and are distributed to all administrative, academic and educational. While the outside of this court, as the appendices, associates and detachable for use in whole or in part, are at cultural activities (conference room and auditorium), sports (indoor gym and outdoor playgrounds) and relationships (library and exhibition space). The complex is designed as a homogenous architectural body, but necessary permits partial use of certain parts.
