The Atelier School – Laboratory of experimental pedagogies.

An innovative, experimental, evolving pedagogy needs a spatial support that promotes real interactions and synergies between users and their environment. The atelier school works like a stage where students are protagonists of a constantly evolving story, they are the actors, but also produce “the scene”, in a space where they are continuously learning by doing. Spaces are expandable and transformable, having “in between” zones without pre-defined uses, creating unexpected and inspiring situations.
