The waterproofing of the underground gymnasium of the Massagno primary school with the Drytech Tank structure made it impermeable to both water and radon.

This is the story of a beautiful elementary school from the 1960s that wants to continue to be beautiful in the new millennium. Where beautiful<\/em> means adequate to the needs of modern pedagogy.<\/p>

With this objective, the project by the Durisch + Nolli and Giraudi Radczuweit Architetti studios proposed the integral maintenance of the body of the school designed sixty years ago by Arch. Finzi, updating it through a process of reorganization, adaptation and expansion.<\/p>

The spaces have been rethought on the needs of contemporary teaching, which requires larger classrooms to allow for dynamic teaching, with flexible spaces divided into different areas of activity.<\/p>

The school complex was then expanded and completed with the construction of a double gymnasium and a canteen for pupils and teachers.<\/p>

The double gymnasium dug into the ground made it possible to maintain a proportionate volume with the school building.<\/p>

The hypogeum consists of a 4,000 m\u00b2 Drytech Tank<\/a> structure, impermeable to both water and radon.<\/p>

The roof of the gymnasium, on which the new school canteen also stands, is a completely accessible space: a large public square also for the use of the population.<\/p>

Among the different access routes to the level, the long staircase perfectly camouflaged in the architectural lines of the south facade stands out for its architectural quality.<\/p>

The complex is presented as an open system connected with the city, with which it dialogues and interacts beyond the educational function.<\/p>

The outdoor public spaces are in fact characterized by a great variety of themed places: from the birch park to the basketball court, from the lavender hanging planter to the long pool \/ fountain that borders the canteen square on one side.<\/p>

But the school-city integration is confirmed by the extensive mending of the pedestrian connections that characterize the urban fabric of Massagno.<\/p>

The area is permeable and inclusive and invites to be crossed because it offers direct and safe routes.<\/p>

The school becomes a daily presence for the whole community.<\/p>
