学校位于伊瓜拉达，是加泰罗尼亚地区的一个内陆小城市。它的气候比内陆城市略微湿润和寒冷。恩里克-米拉莱斯就葬在那里。阿诺亚河从它周围经过。十九世纪在河边发展了一个大型纺织和制革工业，带来了繁荣和人口增长。在二十世纪的最后一段时间，它几乎被完全拆除。
The school is in Igualada, a small inland city in Catalonia. It has a slightly more humid and colder climate than litoral cities. Enric Miralles is buried there. The river Anoia passes around it. A big textile and tannery industry was developed in the XIXth century by the river, bringing with it prosperity and population growth. It was almost totally dismantled during the last part of the XXth century.
学校需要扩大其高中部分。体育馆和老学校的几间教室也需要维修。加泰罗尼亚政府组织了一次公开的两阶段建筑竞赛，我们赢了。
The school needs to expand its high school section. The gymnasium and a few classrooms in the old school also need repair. A public two-phase architectural competition was organised by the Catalan government, which we won.
唯一可用的地方是一块东西走向的细长土地，与下面的riera d’Òdena平行。两者之间有一个陡峭的斜坡。它与体育馆相邻，但与学校的其他部分隔绝。老学校有一个现浇的混凝土结构，砖墙在一些地方覆盖着绿色的瓦片。
The only available spot is a thin long stretch of land with a east-west orientation parallel to the riera d’Òdena below. There is a steep slope between them. It is adjacent to the gymnasium, but isolated from the rest of the school. The old school has an in-situ cast concrete structure, with brick walls covered in some parts with green tiles.
如何在连接新旧建筑的同时，给新建筑一个足够大的操场和最佳的方向？还有一条从河边上来的老路，维护起来会很有意思。
How to connect the new and old buildings while giving a big enough playground and optimal orientation to the new building? There is also an old pathway that comes up from the river, which would be interesting to maintain.
第一个决定是使狭长的矩形棱柱与西边的公共广场相切，这样它就能尽可能地释放出东边的操场。新体量的结构跨度和正交形状允许使用易于预制的混凝土结构，其制作地点仅在70公里之外。Termoarcilla墙允许我们根据方向和室内程序的需要，建造具有不同孔隙率的膜，从通风的外墙到格子。在这个紧凑的主体内，两个庭院为教室带来了更好的阳光方向。一个轻钢结构将新高中、翻新的体育馆和一楼的旧学校连接起来。在它下面是一个门廊，它是进入这个地方的新门户。
The first decision is to make long and narrow rectangular prism tangent to the public square on the west so that it frees as much playground to the east as possible. The structural spans and orthogonal shape of the new volume allow for an easily prefabricated concrete structure, made just 70 kms. away. Termoarcilla walls allow us to build membranes with different porosities according to the orientation and indoor program needs, from ventilated facades to lattices. Within this compact body, two courtyards bring a better sun orientation for the classrooms. A light steel structure bridges and connects the new high school, the refurbished gym and the old school on the first-floor level. Beneath it, a porch that is the new gateway to the place.
