The project intends to be sustainable not only in constructive but also in social terms, involving the local population, listening to the voice of users by starting a participatory planning process with the ultimate aim of restoring the Gabelli School to the City of Belluno and its citizens, but above all by conferring a new image of the building and making it iconic, a model for schools of the future.
The area of intervention is located near the historic center, a few dozen meters from the railway station and the bus station and is inserted in a trapezoidal lot.
The architectural project of restructuring and redevelopment of the Gabelli School provides for the creation of an educational center dedicated to children from 2 to 11 years, which will share the spaces for activities in order to guarantee stability and consistency in the educational path from a pedagogical point of view of child. The Gabelli School will also be a Civic Center open to the community, institutions and associations.

The landscape project
The general criterion followed for the arrangement of the external green of the school compendium and for the choice of the vegetable species is linked to their adaptability, to the resilience, to the reduction of inputs such as water, nutrients, mulches, maintenance energy, pesticides, to the minimum requirements and to the economic management of the species.
Also this enhancement of the already existing green, its redevelopment and the increase of species and plant individuals, can constitute a piece of the mosaic of the offer of the city in terms of ecosystem services.
It is therefore proposed to revive the Gabelli School and at the same time to characterize the building as a new architectural container of public functions, open to the community.
The accessibility to the public garden and to the common areas is guaranteed by the project while as far as the interior spaces are concerned, interventions of adaptability are foreseen, that is the possibility of modifying the built space over time in order to make it completely and easily usable even by people with reduced or impeded motor or sensory capacity.
