The project area is located in front of the central building of the school complex, an enclosed space between the parking place to the north, via Roma to the west, the property boundary to the south and the school complex to the east. Within the area there was already a concrete platform which was used for multi-function game, but given the lack of dressing rooms and an area protected from the weather it has sought a solution that would ensure the organization of sports activities, both for the school and for the city administration, in a continuous and adequate way throughout the year. It has taken into account a number of factors and constraints in the evaluation of the project types and in the study of dislocation of the volumes building: - the difference in elevation of 130 cm between the road and school buildings, choosing to keep the same level of paving of the Institute and reducing in this way the volume outside the building ground, as well as the mass of the dressing rooms in front of the sporting activity area. - the minimum size of space to dedicate to sports provided by the project and the physical constraints present at the perimeter of the area has led to the study of a volume that could develop only in accordance with a minimum rectangle, both in plan and in height; this has led to the search of a perception of the external form with plans differentiated and with the use of materials with finishes that allowed the fractionation of the volumes. The sports facility is organized along an axis of internal east-west distribution, with two entrances opposite each other that allow direct and indipendent access from the outside for both students of the school and external athletes. The corridor leads to the auxiliary spaces provided in the block to the north which contain two dressing areas, a local for secretarial and infirmary, dressing for teachers, coaches, a warehouse for the different equipment depending on use separate day or evening, a power station room. The main hall has an area of activity of 40 x 20 m. and a perimeter band of m. 1,5; to the south there are niches that can contain Swedish framework and other exercise equipment. The perimeter of the structure has vertical and horizontal ribbon windows on the south wall and the east and west walls are totally blind; a large window to the north breaks down the idea of closed box both inside and outside, allowing the perception of the activities that are taking place from outside. The particular shape of the south wall solves the need for compliance earthquake and the action of wind, that require of the walls of vertical bracing. The cover is made very light, by the use of a frame cross in beams of steel pre-tensioned above which is put in place a slab in fir and the package isolated and waterproof cover. The heating system planned takes into account the considerable internal volume and height of the main room, realizing for the activity room of a floor heating system.
