Concept

The loggia, located under the three-dimensional swimming pool and indoor gymnasium as an intermediate area between administrative offices and the schoolyard, is a unique approach to the existing building and is effectively used for various school activities as well as for temporary storage of damaged materials in the event of an earthquake, forming a distinctive school environment. The design is based on Mizuki's unique style, which is both expansive and powerful.
