The place of our new Spanish educational center is located in an area of open building with large free areas and wide gaps. Within each implantation, the buildings adopt diverse configurations and without relation between them. From this point of view, there are no limitations or specific criteria in the implementation of our building.

 

The northern border borders Ibn Rochd Avenue and the inconveniences of traffic have been tried to cushion with the wide adjoining tree-lined promenade. This circumstance should be reduced with the planting of new trees and the orientation of the buildings of the Center. 

 

We indicate the generic conditions of departure that we have imposed and its justification.  

 

As a preliminary, we understand that a Spanish center abroad always has, in addition to the specific use, a certain embassy character that exposes customs and customs of Spain, reason why certain dependencies could remain open with the closed center, looking for the maximum relation with The Rabat neighborhood in this case. 

These dependencies are: the sports area and the gym, the library and the auditorium. Also, for other reasons, the kitchen and facilities.  We think that in a center of these characteristics, the situation of the lobby of entrance is one of the keys for a correct operation. This main lobby must distribute all of the activities and allows a real control of the center, all of which can not be approached circumstantial access in other points. 

Sport is a fundamental activity in education, so that the clues, besides having the regulatory dimensions, should be correctly oriented and grouped together as a common and autonomous sports zone.  Younger children often need, in addition to the programmed classrooms, free spaces of different qualifications, so we think it necessary to equip the children’s classrooms with “outside classrooms”.  

 

Usually, in the educational centers, the zones of passage are dimensioned by factors other than the educational purpose (flows, fires ...) without taking into account that these spaces are often places of a more informal and flexible relationship.  Finally, it seems fundamental to release the maximum of free space in the lot, even at the expense of building in height. The qualification of these gaps with gardens, orchards or living areas should be a sign of identity. 

 

All of these conditions in addition to those indicated in the needs program are those that have led us to our proposal and which we describe.

The main access road will be produced by a new road that runs to the west boundary, however to record more deeply the plot, we have extended it generating parking lots and a wide roundabout return with what is guaranteed, with the limitations that must be imposed , The access road to the plot center. 

 

This area of admission rolls out into an area from can enter the general lobby and also independent tickets to the library and the auditorium. If we imagine a pedestrian entrance to the new center, the students would walk a tree-lined walk of about nine meters wide until arriving at the entrance. This walk extends to the interior of the center constituting a covered street from where each student will be able to accede to its classrooms.
