Nestled near the breathtaking Popocatépetl Volcano and the historic Cholula Pyramid, the Canadian School in Cholula, Puebla, is redefining education with its innovative design by @sordo_madaleno. This visionary project seamlessly integrates the natural landscape and local heritage, fostering a unique connection between the built environment and the outdoors.
A Design That Prioritizes Nature and Connection
With a stunning radial layout, the school prioritizes shared spaces at its heart, promoting collaboration and interaction. Remarkably, 62% of the site remains unbuilt, enhancing its harmony with nature. A rooftop park, accessible from the street, extends the playground and offers students an inspiring space to connect and grow.
The Canadian School in Cholula is designed with functionality and sustainability in mind
The design features seven circular structures, divided into 24 segments, accommodating classrooms, administrative offices, sports facilities, cafeterias, gardens, and courtyards. Scheduled to open in 2025, the Canadian School is set to become a shining example of sustainable and thoughtful educational architecture.
A Rooftop Park to Enrich Learning 🌱
With a 3-meter elevation difference from the street, the Canadian School in Cholula, Puebla, turns a challenge into an opportunity to innovate. The design seamlessly integrates with the landscape, placing educational spaces on the lower level while transforming the rooftop into a park.
Accessible directly from the street, this rooftop park extends the playground, providing a vibrant space for children and youth to interact, play, and grow. A perfect blend of architecture and nature, this unique feature enhances the learning experience by fostering connection and creativity.
