Catering School and Auditorium

The building of the Catering School defines a new street, a structural and vital element to the rehabilitation of the old area of the Robinson Factory. The south, literally 'hangs' over the landscape, enjoying the natural slope. The building is intended to be a box resting on the existing embankment defining a large balcony where all main spaces of the school turn to & classrooms, library, lounge, restaurant and bar.

To north, this box is closed, given its frank relation with the street and sets up two bodies completely closed. The largest and most detached volume embraces all kitchens and infrastructural support to the restaurant, self-service and teaching kitchen, finished in a blue colour traditionally used in bakeries and all places where special hygiene requirements exist. This volume is also denounced by huge skylights-chimneys. At the area in front of the classrooms and corresponding to yellow ochre body are placed the offices and additional spaces of smaller area, opening each to a small private courtyard on the console. This equipment is an element of articulation with the rest of the urban fabric, serving a good portion of the population.
