Vittorio Grassi Architects is awarded 2 extraordinary projects under the competition “Futura. The School of Tomorrow Project” provided by the PNRR Education and signs the new school poles of the Municipality of Fidenza and Albaredo D’Adige.
A replicable model for the school of the future.
The new Villa Ferro school complex, designed by Vittorio Grassi Architects for the Municipality of Fidenza and winner of the PNRR Education competition “Futura: The School of Tomorrow’s Design,” is conceived as a replicable model of contemporary school architecture.
The project is based on a modular, flexible, and standardizable architectural system that can be adapted to different contexts, lots of varying sizes, and future expansions, ensuring architectural quality, energy efficiency, and cost control. The clarity of the typology and the streamlining of construction solutions allow for practical replication by public administrations.The master plan integrates educational, sports, and community spaces into a unified whole, open to the community and accessible even outside school hours, thereby strengthening the school’s role as civic infrastructure.
Environmental sustainability is a structural element of the project and responds to NRP goals through passive strategies, use of natural light, green roofs, photovoltaic systems, and durable, eco-friendly materials.
The Villa Ferro school hub represents a scalable and replicable PNRR best practice for building the public schools of the future.
