Extension of a school, built in the 1960s, to meet the projected demographic change of the area, providing new learning spaces in between indoors and outdoors. The light tensile modular extension, built on top of the existing concrete structure, serves temporarily during renovations and remains as a permanent addition. While anchoring itself into the ground of the asphalt-sealed courtyard, vegetation breaks through the sealed surface, transforming the playground by allowing water and vegetation to reoccur.
