Abstract
This Thesis architectural project aims in the extensive transformation and renovation of three historical school structures, located in the area of Zutphen, in order to adopt in the new 21st century reality.
All the structures are extensively analyzed in terms of their value and embedded spatial potentiality, based on which the proposed design strategy is formulated. The new introduced program is that of a fashion and graphic academy, while key architectural aspect of the project is the introduction of a new canopy aiming to functionally merge the three independent architectural structures into one unified complex, while touch on elements of iconic nature.
