Using the bounds of a school for ages 3-7, the project is an attempt to exploit a certain bodily expression. Located in the landscape of the Botanical Garden of Lisbon, it comes as close to being a mundane school that practices Montessori education as possible. Kids are allowed to interact in a liberating and protective environment. As a speculative exploration into the realms of unbounded imagination, it is ambiguous whether the architecture houses the body, or the anatomy governs its structure.

The project involved an intuitive process of taming orderly chaos in order to form the basis of the architecture. Relevant discussions were conceived from an amalgamation of various methods. Divergent components from analogue modelling to digital fabrication serve to consolidate all complex ideas into one. Sometimes obscured from the eyes of the ordinary lies the perplexity of this sensitive architecture.

Being an uncanny resemblance of the organic and inorganic, this is but an ordinary school for the young.
