Colegio Próspero Pinzón

In Kennedy, one of the boroughs of Bogotá, marked by high population density and a need for school buildings, Colegio Próspero Pinzón is designed as a civic and educational facility of real importance.

The proposal starts from an open central space that acts as the main square. The entrances and principal routes are organised from it, and it is at the same time a place for meeting, for social exchange and for cultural events. Around this core sit the separate blocks holding the academic and supporting uses: classrooms, library, auditorium, dining halls, administration and services. This modular arrangement gives a clear layout, easy movement and room for future adjustment as the needs of the institution change.
