is research is based on the design proposal for a new venue of the High-Performance School (known in Spanish as COAR) for the southeastern area of the city of Lima, as part of the decentralization strategy of the institution, by establishing a new school network in the region. This to meet the current demand of the educational sector in the capital and to be able to accommodate the best students of the last three years of secondary education of the 184 schools in the area. The architectural project seeks to develop a High-Performance School where the learning acquisition process goes beyond the limit of the confined space of the classroom, to generate extensions of the teaching space towards the outside. This change intends to have a positive impact in the lifestyle and self-learning process of its students, while changing the concept of the proposed space for studying, by understanding the school campus as a whole learning extension. To obtain that goal, the historical analysis of the open-air school’s typology is taken as the starting point, as well as the study of three theories that are meant to influence the design process of the proposal: The Pattern Language, the theory of Appropriation of space and the Twin Phenomena. With the application of the three theories, the main design strategy was developed: to understand the school as a learning village, in which the dynamics of the student, the main user of it, simulates that of a citizen in a city. The project will be located on an agricultural site in the urban expansion area of the district of Lurin. This High-Performance School is divided into 4 worlds, all named by its translation in quechua language: Yachay World (of learning), Wasi World (housing), Tinkuy World (of cohabitation) and Pujillay World (of corporal expression). The union of the learning and corporal expression worlds clearly show the idea of the school as a learning village, which is divided into four neighborhoods joined by a learning street, based on the concept of the ‘school within a school’. Likewise, the school campus has the objective to work as a meeting point for the surrounding communities, therefor the decision to create open spaces, like the plazas around the site edges, as well as the sports center, that includes two different access points used by the neighbors and the students in different schedules, getting the school to work as a community center.
