Abstract: The Quasimodo School project reflects a transitional phase for the culture design not only local that is reflected in the co-presence of heterogeneous elements or in any case, between them not immediately associable. The front on Via Costalunga reveals the metabolization of Le Corbusier’s late work and is combined, in a way not taken for granted, with a volumetric articulation obtained by juxtaposition and subtraction with many detail solutions of remarkable originality.
