MAKISHI LEGACY SCHOOL

Project idea

The project aims to represent the terrain by understanding it as organic forms expressed through movement, which combine to create functional areas. From the center, the spaces are distributed in radial sections, which is ideal for ensuring ease of access and organizing the flow of people. The buildings are arranged to form a concentric ring or semicircles. This layout allows us to visualize the technical or educational focus in that part of the project, ending with our green areas that surround the project, indicating a design that is environmentally friendly and respectful of the biodiversity adjacent to the site.
