A new six-story school in Spain is designed to be as colorful and playful as a child's imagination.
Located in the Madrid suburb of Encinar de los Reyes, the Reggio School features a zigzagging roof, concrete arches, porthole windows, and cork walls, People reports.
It's part of a "complex ecosystem" designed by architect Andr ?'s Jaque's Office for Political Innovation to "become a multiverse where the layered complexity of the environment becomes readable and experiential," the studio says.
The school is based on the Italian Reggio Emilia model of education, which emphasizes a child-led approach to learning, per a press release.
"The overall amount of material used in the facades, roofs, and interior partitions of the building has been reduced by 48% just by replacing a big part of the construction by simple strategies or thermal insulation and mechanical systems distribution," Andr ?'s Jaque says.
cork covers 80% of the building's volume, and the practice of leaving service pipes and cables exposed also cut down on waste, the press release notes.
The building has two upper floors set up around an atrium greenhouse and indoor gardens.
Ground and first-floor rooms are designed to interact with the landscape, with some partially submerged
