ARIMUNANI SCHOOL CANOPY
Academic project — Bachelor degree thesis
The project explores the question: “What can we live without?” through a versatile wooden canopy that fosters a direct connection with nature while providing multifunctional spaces adaptable to changing school needs.
Located adjacent to Arimunani School in Mallorca, the design responds to its context, integrating with existing buildings, surrounding landscapes, and local timber practices. A simple, flexible timber structure supports a sloped roof with extended overhangs for solar protection and natural rainwater drainage, while vegetation and passive ventilation strategies enhance comfort and sustainability.
Three core strategies guide the project: phased growth aligned with the school’s rhythm, seamless integration with public and outdoor spaces, and material choices sensitive to local resources.
The canopy accommodates diverse activities in any weather, offering shelter, comfort, and connection to nature. Interior modules provide additional flexible spaces, while the overall design encourages social interaction, outdoor learning, and dialogue between structure, environment, and community.
