Spaces between classrooms are slots that make everything appear like an architectural picture pasted on the terrain. The corridor connects all the functional areas. The foundation of the buildings respects the natural terrain which means that they wind up and down like the mountain path. In order to not to waste money as well as to increase the heat insulation, bricks were made of recycled soil from the site which was removed while building up the foundation. The material also allows a balanced climate indoors; the rooms stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
