In the 1960s a school was built on the arid and remote island of Porto Santo. Against a backdrop of scarcity, the architect, Ra\u00fal Chor\u00e3o Ramalho, took advantage of the environmental and material conditions of the place to enhance the characteristics of the building. A modern language \u2013 in tune with the vanguard of the time \u2013 allied itself with the identity of local construction, to anchor the public building to the ground. The school served as a space of learning for several generations of Porto Santo inhabitants, and today, classified as a heritage site, it hosts a programme of activities and artistic residencies that project it into the future. This exhibition presents the environment, matter, habitat and architecture of this singular work.<\/p>\n
