Every time I walk Pupy, my faithful canine companion, my gaze stops at a very special place: the Gustavo Pozo primary school, located on 39th Street in the La Timba neighborhood of the Plaza de la Revolución municipality of Havana, very close to my house. It is not an ordinary school; its unique architectural design always arouses my curiosity and admiration.
In my country, access to the inside of schools is not permitted for security reasons, which has prevented me from exploring beyond their walls. Despite this, I have managed to take photos of those circles that attract me so much, of the semicircular terrace and the small amphitheater that are part of the complex, as well as the lush vegetation that exists there.
Cada vez que paseo a Pupy, mi fiel compañero canino, mi mirada se detiene en un lugar muy especial: la escuela primaria Gustavo Pozo, ubicada en la calle 39 del reparto La Timba del mmunicipio Plaza de la Revolución de la Habana, muy cerca de mi casa. No es una escuela común y corriente; su singular diseño arquitectónico siempre despierta mi curiosidad y admiración.
En mi país, el acceso al interior de las escuelas no está permitido por razones de seguridad, lo que me ha impedido explorar más allá de sus muros. A pesar de ello, he conseguido sacar fotos de esos círculos que tanto me atraen, de la terraza semicircular y del pequeño anfiteatro que forman parte del complejo, así como de la frondosa vegetación que allí existe.
This school, made up of seven circular buildings, has a structure that I find fascinating. I have always been struck by the circular shape of its buildings, a pattern that is repeated throughout the complex. Thanks to my neighbor's son who studies there, I have learned that each circle houses two classrooms, so each one is shaped like a semicircle. This organization seems perfect to me to encourage interaction between students and teacher, allowing attention to be focused on teaching and for the teacher,to have all his students in sight. I confess that I would have loved to study in a classroom with this original shape.
The classrooms also look very airy because they have windows with shutters that reach from the ceiling to the floor at different angles of the semicircle
Esta escuela, formada por siete edificios circulares, tiene una estructura que me resulta fascinante. Siempre me ha llamado la atención la forma circular de sus edificios, un patrón que se repite en todo el complejo. Gracias al hijo de mi vecina que estudia allí, he aprendido que cada círculo alberga dos aulas, por lo que cada una tiene forma de semicírculo. Esta organización me parece perfecta para fomentar la interacción entre alumnos y profesor, permitiendo que la atención se centre en la enseñanza y que el profesor, tenga a la vista a todos sus alumnos. Confieso que me hubiera encantado estudiar en un aula con esta original forma.
Las aulas también lucen muy ventiladas porque tienen ventanas con contraventanas que llegan desde el techo hasta el piso en diferentes ángulos del semicírculo
Right next to the primary school, there is a children's circle, also circular in structure, but in this case, it is a single circle that houses the classrooms for children from 1 to 5 years old. Although I was not able to take many photos of this space, I was able to observe its play area, with a curious parabola-shaped construction where I have seen the little ones playing on other occasions, although today the area was deserted. There is also another peak-shaped building with a circle and I thought it was a sundial but when I turned around I saw that it had stairs to access it, so it is a place for children to simply play.
Justo al lado de la escuela primaria, hay un círculo infantil, también de estructura circular, pero en este caso, se trata de un solo círculo que alberga las aulas para niños de 1 a 5 años. Aunque no pude sacar muchas fotos de este espacio, sí pude observar su zona de juegos, con una curiosa construcción en forma de parábola donde he visto a los más pequeños jugando en otras ocasiones, aunque hoy la zona estaba desierta. También hay otro edificio en forma de pico con un círculo y pensé que era un reloj de sol pero al darme la vuelta vi que tenía escaleras para acceder, por lo que es un lugar para que los niños simplemente jueguen.
The railings surrounding both buildings limit the view a little, but despite this, I was able to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of this educational complex. It is a space that radiates tranquility and that seems to me an ideal place to educate future generations, a place where creativity and learning seem to merge into a single concept. It is no coincidence that this school has received several awards for the academic results of its students.
Las barandillas que rodean ambos edificios limitan un poco la vista, pero a pesar de ello, pude apreciar la belleza y singularidad de este complejo educativo. Es un espacio que irradia tranquilidad y que me parece un lugar ideal para educar a las futuras generaciones, un lugar donde la creatividad y el aprendizaje parecen fundirse en un solo concepto. No es casualidad que esta escuela haya recibido varios premios por los resultados académicos de sus alumnos.
The history of this place is equally fascinating. Its construction was completed in 1965. The round shape of the classrooms, with their flat roofs, responds to the desire to create a space where children feel free and unrestricted, thus fostering their creativity and development. I really appreciate the green areas, although they are not very well maintained because there are many dry leaves, but there are quite a few trees between those circles covered with orange bricks that contrast greatly with the green of the plants.
La historia de este lugar es igualmente fascinante. Su construcción se terminó en 1965. La forma redonda de las aulas, con sus techos planos, responde al deseo de crear un espacio donde los niños se sientan libres y sin restricciones, fomentando así su creatividad y desarrollo. Aprecio mucho las áreas verdes, aunque no están muy bien cuidadas porque hay muchas hojas secas, pero hay bastantes árboles entre esos círculos cubiertos de ladrillos anaranjados que contrastan mucho con el verde de las plantas.
This walk through the Gustavo Pozo school always leaves me reflecting on the importance of educational spaces in the formation of children and adolescents. It is a place that inspires, a place that invites us to dream and believe in the power of education to transform the world.

It's a very nice design for a school, I like it a lot, I imagine the interior is very spacious. Its circular classrooms make it different.
If it is very attractive, it is a shame not to be able to see it inside, but I imagine that for the students it must be a very pleasant sensation.
This school has a wonderful design, I like it very much, especially the green areas are beautiful and the walkway, nice flowers.
It is a very beautiful combination between those brown circles and the green foliage, in the end an excellent composition is obtained.
Está escuela tienes una arquitectura hermosa, en una ocasión fui por un encuentro de softbol y quedé muy sorprendida.
Ahora hermana @lileisabel , veo gracias a tus excelentes fotografías que la conservan muy bien, ten una linda tarde 🌹🌷🏵️💮🌼🌸🪻🪷🌻🥀💐🌺🍀
This school you have a beautiful architecture, I once went for a softball meet and I was very surprised.
Now sister @lileisabel , I see thanks to your excellent pictures that you preserve it very well, have a nice afternoon 🌹🌷🏵️💮🌼🌸🪻🪷🌻🥀💐🌺🍀
Si hermana, esos círculos son muy atractivos y la construcción ha sido duradera y bien conservada, aún es impresionante ver esos hermosos círculos a través del follaje.
Yes sister, those circles are very attractive and the construction has been durable and well preserved, it is still impressive to see those beautiful circles through the foliage.
Son realmente hermosos 🌹🌷
They are really beautiful 🌹🌷.
What an interesting design for a school, it is true that the interaction between teacher and students is improved. They are very nice photos, thanks friend @lileisabel for sharing, a hug 💐🌻🤗
Thank you for evaluating it friend, it is very unique and comfortable at the same time, having semicircular classrooms to capture the attention of the students.
Wow, what a spectacular landmark @lileisabel. At first glance, this stunning place with its cascading steps doesn''t look like a school. I thought they were residential clusters constructed on an elevated terrain. This architectural masterpiece definitely shines with curb appeal because its striking facade immediately catches your attention the moment you pass by the street. Plus its vibrant colors are impressive, easily noticeable against the backdrop of green foliage. Such an amazing marvel of the built environment! ☺️
Thanks for Elevating Architecture and Design with Hive!
Thank you @storiesoferne , your criterion has a high value for me because I know your knowledge on the subject, I have been wanting to publish this school for a long time that fills my town with pride, which lately has overwhelmed me with several personal events, soon I plan to be more active here.
Such a gorgeous name for a school: Circles. And its interesting architecture truly relates to its educational brand, sporting circular floor layouts and other rounded details. The entire facility also blends organically with the natural surroundings without causing visual distractions to the neighborhood. Amazing project @lileisabel! ☺️

It is just like that, it integrates with the entire surrounding environment, we cannot imagine our neighborhood without that beautiful school where all our children have been educated.
Greetings friend, what a beautiful school, the colors and design are charming, it also has an excellent environment with abundant trees, I have seen several schools but this is definitely the most beautiful, they did a great job thinking about creating a pleasant space for the children .
Happy Tuesday!
That's right friend, it is a unique educational center, both for its design and for its educational value, it has always caught my attention but I was waiting to have the opportunity to enter but I decided to show what I can appreciate.
I like the style of construction they used in this school, it's certainly not ordinary at all. Its design seems to create a pleasant environment for those who study and work there.
That's right, a very nice place with a lot of vegetation and contrasting colors.
the shape of this building reminds me of old scrolls @lileisabel
If it is very pretty, it must be because of its circular shape
