San Luis Potosì, Mexico – 17th - 19th october 2007
“Intelligent” Primary School Project in Italy
By Giorgio Ponti – Cisem (Italy)
Fulvia Nidasio, Roberto Serlenga, IT Graphic Studio Techneidos
Construction work is about to begin on a new “intelligent” primary
school for 300 students (later to be expanded for 600) in the
Municipality of Solaro in the Province of Milan, Italy. This is the first
primary school building in Italy designed according to the principles of
the “intelligent school” as defined by the Centre for Educational
Innovation and Experimentation of Milan (CISEM).
The characteristics of “intelligent”
educational architecture can be
summarised as follows:
1. Flexibility.
2. Multi-purpose capability.
3. Community use.
4. Inspirational and symbolic setting.
5. Design that promotes innovative
learning, is age-appropriate and caters to
students with special needs.
6. Sustainability (environmental
impact, energy saving, bioarchitecture,
comfort).
7. New technology and computer
integrated building (CIB).
8. Cost effectiveness.
9. Safe and secure environment.
10. Active disaster management
In this project, particular
attention is given to flexibility
and energy saving.
Flexibility is ensured through
the use of multi-purpose
learning modules that can be
adapted for use as
classrooms, laboratories
and/or specialised areas
simply by opening or closing
ordinary doors.
In this system, even the
connecting elements
potentially become learning
areas that can be easily
combined with other areas at
different times of the day.
The basic element of whole project is, how you have
seen, the “Didactic Module” (DM); it consists of an
octagonal space of 47.50 s.m. and 16.78 s.m. of
connective part plus 2 closets, both totally flexible
and adaptable

the systems inside
Through a long flexibility tricks it is then possible to change very quickly the spaces purpose, in case of need (even urgent). In this plan we have planned out the possible changing in a little hospital or youth / aged hostel

Now let’s look at some facilities and components of a typical
didactic module
In line with the theory that the environment can serve as a pedagogical
tool, energy saving has been integrated into the architecture visibly and
into the education process.

Because of emphasis on energy saving (Zero pollution), the European Association for Renewable Energy awarded the project the 2006 EUROSOLAR First Prize in Category “E”, solar architecture and urban development (ww.eurosolaritalia.org).
The criterion for this category is “consistent and systematic experimentation in seeking an architectural language capable of integrating bioclimatic and solar technologies in a low environmental impact strategy”.
The most important aspects of the project from an energy standpoint are the following:
• High thermal insulation achieved mainly through dry-mounted multilayer panels.
• Ventilated copper roofing (for electromagnetic insulation).
• Solar chimneys.
• Facility designed with CIB.
• Ground water heat pumps.
• No emissions into the air (the building has no boiler).
• Underfloor heating/cooling with low-temperature water.
• Photovoltaic panels (on the solar chimneys) providing electric power to the heat pumps.
The images that follow show some of these important features.

This virtual image and the following sum up what we have seen previously and
give the idea of the whole of this “educational intelligent machine”
The use of heating pumps feeded with photovoltaic cells, and heating floor with
low temperature water allow a good modular heating system and therefore a
good flexibility and sustainability.

This project is the result of a joint venture between the Solaro Municipality,
CISEM and the Università Politecnico di Milano, whose Department of
Building Environment Science and Technology (BEST) was responsible for
the design (Giorgio Ponti and Ettore Zambelli architects)
And finally we see dimensions,
costs and timing:
- Area of the first segment (12 learning
modules for 300 students): 2 624
square meters gross floor area;
- Area per student: 8.7 gross square
meters;
- Projected overall cost: EURO
2.000.000 that compares with
2.840.000 USD and 30.722.800 Mexican Pesos;
- Cost per square meter of gross floor
area: EURO 762 that compares
with 1.080 USD and 11.705
Mexican Pesos;
- Beginning of work: end 2007
- Completion of work: 2009
