|  An internal external space |

The project is based on two main reflections that have guided the entire compositional process: How to integrate organically into the intervention context while maintaining a clear identity of the organization? What characteristics should a Learning Hub have today?

It begins with a reinterpretation of the traditional post office, which is recognized for its social value as a meeting place, becoming a true “monument” in its role as a collective and shared asset. Similarly, the Learning Hub is tasked with not only hosting educational functions but also fulfilling a broader social role by offering itself as a space for meeting and aggregation. 

A large horizontal covering supported by columns rhythmically structures the underlying space, reinterpreting the traditional Bolognese portico. The hybrid nature of the hypostyle space creates an intriguing placement that exists between internal and external, public and private. Likewise, the portico space of the new Learning Hub serves as a dialogical device between the surrounding context and the new hub, acting as a threshold interface between internal and external spaces.

An additional challenge is to define new educational spaces aimed at promoting learning through sharing and multidisciplinarity. The principle of multifunctionality translates into an articulated system through the aggregation of multiple structures, each dedicated to a specific activity, where the “critical distance” between the structures outlines an “open system” that is unfinished and limitless, capable of expanding to accommodate new functions.
