Complesso Marchesi, Educational complex in Pisanova, Italy
The Complesso Marchesi extends across an irregular lot with multiple sections, displaying exposed structural elements and extensive glass panels throughout its design.
The Province of Pisa initiated a competition in the 1960s for a new school complex, selecting Luigi Pellegrin's design under Bruno Zevi's commission leadership.
The building represents a shift in educational architecture, as Pellegrin's design emphasized open spaces and community integration rather than traditional classroom layouts.
The structure contains educational facilities, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and a swimming pool that currently serves local sports organizations.
The building's design generated controversy due to its radical open-school concept, leading to modifications during construction and ongoing debates about its functionality.
