This school located in the municipality of Villares de la Reina, an area with industrial estates that have disfigured the scale of the city and transformed the landscape, reflects on the domestic scale of this type of infrastructures which have to be colonized by children.

ABLM arquitectos are the ones in charge of this school thought like a great base, with a coloured ceramic façade that symbolizes the singularities and equalities of each boy and girl, and another facade with a mirror finish that fades the upper part of the project as it reflects the sky.
Description of the project by ABLM arquitectos
In the metropolitan area of the city of Salamanca, the municipality of Villares de la Reina stands out for its transformation during the last decades by hosting one of the industrial estates of the city. The changes have partially disfigured the scale and transformed the material landscape conditions.
The almost invisible school proposes a reflection on the domestic scale of this type of infrastructure where the little ones must find spaces that they can catch and places with which they can dream.
The ground floor accessible from the outside is a large ceramic base made up of vertical pieces of seven colours made by Toni Cumella, which symbolize both the singularity and the equality of each child and each girl, collecting and enclosing the scale of the courtyards and play areas.
The upper areas are coated with an aluminium composite stacbond finished with mirror panels. These surfaces fade reflecting the sky and also the perimeter trees making this second level, necessary in the program, disappear like a magic game and ables the school infrastructure to recover a more domestic scale.

ABLM arquitectos develops its strategies from a multidisciplinary platform proposing answers to the problems offered by contemporaneity. Within the group there are different research initiatives such as the LabIO group [Lab of Optimistic Initiatives] that generates proposals of resolution for conflicts from the juxtaposition of architecture, planning and sociology. Another way of research is the search for new proposals in the world of children and youth, within educational and residential programs, opening possibilities and relationships among users.
