I love the attention to details you brought in your project. We can tell that you worked on the city scale, and human scale. The kids can developp their senses with the different materials and textures. The raw material really give an atmosphere to the place. The school with it's flexible playground is very fun for kids. Everyday they will fully experience the place and invent stories at each recreation. Well done for your quality work !

SITUATIONS SCHOOL

We believe learning should not be restricted to a specific space, it needs to be a nonstop process, a mindset to transform all human-made environments into learning opportunities. Therefore a school should be a place where children learn how to learn through their own natural behaviours ?play and exploration? and at their own pace.

The sense of coherence

The major principle of our design strategy is that school's building and space (including its 'hidden curriculum') produce the sense of coherence - by using diverse modes of learning that would provide integrity and comprehensibility of the surrounding world, manageability and meaningfulness of its elements for personal development of each pupil.

Choosing a challenging as well culturally rich and need-based site was the beginning of our design process. The design is a step-by-step development morphing from the sun, wind, light, activities of the children and energy-based appropriation. We have woven vernacular building strategies and materials with modern building principles and technology.
