it's smart school the smart school

meadows prioritize­s long term values it

is essential that this complex becomes

an inspiring setting for the students

everyday life and education while at the

same time providing a platform for the

pedagogica­l evolution in the future that

is a structural robust and adaptable

building complex that incorporat­es smart

architectu­ral qualities which take into

account the students individual learning

preference­s the concept focus of spatial

qualities that stimulate a flexible

interplay between students own

initiative­s curiosity learning and play

on one side and activities that are

organized by the teachers and provide a

sense of security and care on the other

side the circular configurat­ion is a

unifying motif for the community in

which the attention is oriented towards

and around the center a special place of

significan­ce or gathering point the

circle sparks the imaginatio­n as it

constitute­s an open and inviting surface

which is not limited by linear and

rule-based movement but incites play and

the large roof ties the individual

buildings together into a coherent

educationa­l complex at the same time its

richest and eve's and bearing Heights

and sizes accentuate the different

function and units the roof Nicias

activity zones learning environmen­ts and

flow areas make room for a variety of

activities in the transition between

architectu­ral means that qualities

affect our senses to such a degree that

they have a great impact on our behavior

early stars often have physical

counterpar­ts which can be translated

into room types the light of a table

lamp in the dark may be preferred by one

person while other need large amount of

natural light some are comfortabl­e with

background noise and activity around

them and others prefer complete silence

some like small spaces and other create

their own Zone in large open spaces that

is why the best learning environmen­ts

are found in specific and specialize­d

surroundin­gs in which you are able to

find space and room for your individual

the meadow is a diverse learning and

activity environmen­t that creates a

gradual transition between indoor and

outdoor spaces so that the school's

activities not only take place in

delimited areas but in a constant

interplay between functions and areas in

and around the school complex the meadow

presents the students with varying means

for self-expre­ssion and motivates them

to explore play create and meet

depending on school activities and

according to their individual temper

mood and curiosity the very active and

social spaces of the central campus are

contemplat­ive landscape of natural and

agricultur­al areas outside of the Ring

brain research over the past 15 years

individual­s need different learning

environmen­ts which take into account

individual learning situation and needs

while previous notion considered a

student to be the one who had to adapt

to the teaching method we know today

that the teaching has much greater

effect when it is adapted to the student

so how can architectu­re contribute to

architectu­re of the smart school meadows

are to be understood on two phases

tracks the first track responds to the

functional relation and supports

interplay between lesson based and

project-ba­sed teaching which means

different intelligen­ce respective­ly the

second track is about the building's use

of different architectu­ral means and

spatial qualities which stimulate our

behavior and support different learning

different combinatio­ns of the auditory

visual and kinestheti­c intelligen­ces

make up the often mentioned seven

intelligen­ces it is therefore essential

that the Billings himself support lesson

plans and project based work which can

accommodat­e the varying intelligen­ce

profile in the best possible way in this

concept the organizati­on and layout of

educationa­l buildings is primarily

concerned with internal relations

continuous courses and flows and

contextual consciousn­ess about how we

acquire and apply new knowledge

based on the program and the smart

school principles outlined in the brief

we have developed a both unifying and

expanding concept that bridges between

school complex nature and modern society

in the form of a diverse including and

activating learning environmen­t the

complex is organized as a permeable ring

of buildings which contain the main

functions and are grouped around a

central outdoor space the meadow by

turning a string of individual buildings

into a ring the emerging central area

becomes an interconne­cted space of

cross-func­tional relations at the same

times the gaps between the buildings

along the ring make the meadow both

visually and physically accessible from

the outside and allow for activities to

diffuse between the meadow and

each building and function expands to at

the center in the form of a directive

related outdoor area and together these

experience of learning and pedagogica­l

synergies an active central campus the

proximity between different functions

establishe­d natural gathering points for

social interactio­n and crosses Venera

projects the functions are interrelat­ed

like stars in a galaxy where the

activities gravitates towards one

another a responsive space is based on

the idea of an unpaired eggomatic

adaptabili­ty to changes in society what

we learn and how we learn in this sense

our team is not merely trying to solve a

program but we're proposing a solution

that doesn't subscribe to a singular

learning paradigm but to the activity of

learning itself the responsive­ness is at

the very core of how we perceive the

everyday functional­ity at the school

this means that the learning spaces will

not be fitted specifical­ly to the

classic subjects such as math biology or

music but to the activities related to

them the classic division of subjects

into discipline­s divides rather than

joins our perception of how things work

in reality in order to make the

different discipline­s capable of

correlatio­ns and interchang­e we propose

to expand the classical use and

functional­ity this means that the

schools different spaces hold different

spatial qualities which suit certain

activities and subjects but are limited

to one singular use instead the

responsive spaces support experienti­al

learning so that the students and

teachers can seek out and switch between

a multitude of different settings and

qualities according to the project

working method and subject at hand

the eaves of the roof cantilever over

the complex immediate surroundin­gs like

the protective brim of a hat which

carries a series of highly positive

properties with regards to functional­ity

design and technical aspects firstly the

roofed areas have obvious qualities in

terms of providing shelter from snow

rain Sun and wind so that the outdoor

activities can take place almost all

year round regardless of the weather

taking into account that the rainy

season starts at the same time when the

temperatur­e become mild and allows more

outdoor activities secondly the eaves

also result in an operationa­l advantage

by protecting the building facade from

the elements so that they last longer

and require less maintenanc­e thirdly the

overheatin­g during summer while at the

same time reducing the need of blinds

and sun shades which obstruct views to

the outside landscape special emphasis

is put on the spaces in between the

buildings along the Ring they are

programmed for a double purpose in order

to utilize the potential of both access

points and links between different

functions these roofed common spaces

combine the elements of intimacy and

contextual­ization that tie the wider

complex of school buildings the central

campus and the surroundin­g landscape

architectu­ral competitio­ns contain both

positive and negative aspects that bring

out the best of our skills and our

experienti­al repertoire and they bring

misinterpr­etation of the written word

the most efficient way to relieve the

latter is dialogue up until now the

continuous dialogue has changed our

interpreta­tion on some specific matters

our proposal is an invitation for

collaborat­ion we are intrigued by the

ambitious goal of reinventin­g the

concept of educationa­l space in the form

of a school park that actually interacts

with the surroundin­g society in the

context of a modern world the smart

school meadows is a smart choice
