The position of the school in regards to the center of the town is precisely in the heart of Vibo Valentia, in fact it is next to the City Hall which is behind the main square “PIAZZA MUNICIPIO”. Our school is attended not only by the students that attend our own school but also other teenagers come around it sitting on the benches and hanging around the square.

The City Hall and the square is also visible on our map:

Since our school is located in the heart of the city of Vibo Valentia, we have chosen to represent the entrance, ample space used as a hall, a meeting place for us guys during the school break. The head master, enthusiastic about the initiative, gave permission to build a permanent work of art. We encountered no problems since the school is a public place, there was not therefore the need of special permission or special request. Since it is a neglected place and not very welcoming, we decided to present it as a space to create an artistic work, able to enhance and improve it.

Unfortunately nevertheless the external doors are made of plexiglass the area destinated for the work of art is not that bright therefore we need to make it lighter with something colourful and evocative. This space is going to be the future exhibition area of our school which will be visited by people from the outside and not only members of the school. By doing so, it would be possible to evoke those feelings that at the moment you can not perceive. The presence of an artistic work would be stimulating for us students, it would reach to capture the feelings as: fun, joy and serenity ; thanks to the colors and the different form it would make this bleak environment, richer and more vibrant.

These are two sketches made by students who attend the laboratory of visual arts. The first one is a sketch, made with a charcoal pencil, while the second one is a watercolor drawing. The materials used allow to create a contrast between light and shadow .

Following, some 3D archicad elaborates made by architecture lab students, with the measurements attached.
