The Gabelli School

Building the school of the future based on contemporary needs and collective memory

Applying the vision of innovative school to a building of historical and artistic interest – ranked 20 among the “Beloved Places” of the Italian Heritage Trust (FAI) – is both a challenge and an opportunity.

A restoration and redevelopment project becomes the chance to bring the Gabelli School back to its splendor. A delicate, high-precision procedure that aims at recovering and enhancing the basics of the Pizzigoni method. But there will also be room for new functions and a new spatial configuration based on how the building is used throughout the day. All this without ever neglecting people’s wellbeing and comfort, thanks to the use of active and passive energy strategies.

This project will be fully sustainable even from a social point of view, as it will involve the local population and launch a participatory planning process to return this school to the city of Belluno and its citizens. More importantly, it will also give a new image to the building, making it a true icon and a model for the schools of the future.

L’intervento di ristrutturazione edilizia e di riqualificazione architettonica diviene occasione per dare nuovamente alla Scuola Gabelli il lustro di un tempo. Un intervento delicato, di chirurgia estetica che vuole recuperare i fondamenti del metodo Pizzigoni, valorizzarli ed enfatizzarli. Al contempo si prevede l’integrazione di nuove funzioni, una revisione delle configurazioni spaziali partendo dall’analisi del modo in cui l’edificio è vissuto nell’arco della giornata, il tutto senza trascurare gli aspetti relativi al benessere ed il comfort interno grazie all’utilizzo di strategie energetiche attive e passive.

Il Progetto intende essere sostenibile non soltanto in termini costruttivi ma anche sociali coinvolgendo la popolazione locale, avviando un percorso di progettazione partecipata con il fine di ridonare la Scuola Gabelli alla Città di Belluno e ai suoi cittadini, ma soprattutto conferendo una nuova immagine all’edificio, renderlo iconico, un modello per le scuole del futuro.
