The renovation project of the Enrico Fermi school rises from a deep understanding of the industrious soul of Turin. Not only a place of learning but a flexible engine able to catalyze the surrounding energies.

Initially conceived as an isolated element of the city, as a series of undifferentiated spaces, the Enrico Fermi school is redesigned in order to dissolve borders between the city and the school ensuring a dialog between didactic and experience, indoor and outdoor spaces, artificial and natural environment. The school, placed in the heart of the city, becomes the stage where students, workers and citizens can identify themselves through a sequence of different spaces and materials making them live in a harmonious relationship. The “Cantiere Cultura”, thanks to its iconic image, set itself as a cultural center, pivot of a dynamic and lively landscape. The project revamps the elements of the historic and cultural heritage of the neighborhood and presents itself as a landmark whose features are balanced against the immediate urban surroundings.

The Enrico Fermi school is located in a strategic point of the city, in an area in which urban transformations have already started with the Lingotto. The district has a strong productive nature and thanks to its position it has been subjected to many innovative changes. However, the actual building occupies the site in an introverted way and remains passive to the surrounding urban system. The demolition of the two access ramps into a single entrance staircase establishes a new relationship with the surrounding city.
The school transforms itself from a fenced-in, introverted container of knowledge into a dynamic square that attracts the energies of the neighbourhood. A podium raised 1.5 m above the ground level and connected by a wide staircase gives continuity to the public space.
The large raised terrace enters the main spaces of the school, where the energies of the surrounding city converge, common spaces overlook and the public services open to the city find their place. The areas of the central volume, shared by the school and the city, are an access point to culture for all ages. The new volumetric configuration of the complex is accompanied by the transformation of its architectural image. The central volume in painted metal, the gymnasium in exposed brick, the entrance staircase in conglomerate, enter into a dialectic relationship with the pure volumes of the teaching, both treated in an equivalent way: large windows framed by warm wooden frames, floor marker in concrete. The industrious city is mixed with the domestic and reflective dimension of the spaces where to develop the didactic activity.
