Kindcentrum Middenwaard

Kindcentrum Middenwaard in Amstelveen is ontworpen met het achterliggende idee dat het gebouw deel uitmaakt van het omringende groen; Het gebouw en de buitenruimtes sluiten goed op elkaar aan, ze vormen samen één geheel.   Het nieuwe kindcentrum, met daarin een school, kinderdagverblijf en gymzaal,  is zo compact mogelijk gehouden, waardoor er meer ruimte overblijft voor buiten. Het ontwerp is langgerekt, met in het midden een smaller deel, wat buiten ruimte openlaat voor de zichtlijn van oost naar west; zo kan het omringende groen goed doorlopen. Aan de oostkant schuift het gebouw iets naar het noorden en aan de westkant naar het zuiden. Hierdoor ontstaat een speelse vorm die perfect aansluit bij de omgeving en zo... Meer

Primary school in Pomezia

A simple and compact school building from a volumetric point of view, clear in its functional organization and regular in its structural grid. The new school is located on the site of the existing building and is characterized by a unitary volume, articulated on two levels, to accommodate the required areas. The compactness of the building allows the connective spaces to be concentrated in the “central nave” of the structure, with double-height spaces, ensuring efficient distribution of the school’s areas. Caption Caption Caption On the ground floor, the connective space is also made usable thanks to its permeability and visual transparency, through the various double heights. In this environment, collectiv... Meer

Primary school in Au, Austria by Bernardo Bader Architekten recalls traditional approach to building in wood

Het Oostenrijkse architectenbureau Bernardo Bader Architekten heeft een nieuwe basisschool opgeleverd in Au, een stad in de regio Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg, Oostenrijk. Het ontwerp en de constructie van de school herinneren aan de traditionele benadering van houtbouw in de regio. Gustav Willeit Au heeft een gewaardeerde ambachtelijke geschiedenis. De "Auer Zunft" (Auer Gilde), een vereniging van Vorarlbergse bouwambachtslieden, werd opgericht in 1651 en bleef bestaan tot 1842. Hun werk is vandaag de dag nog steeds zichtbaar in veel barokke kerkgebouwen in Midden-Europa. "Bij de bouw van de nieuwe school was ik geïnteresseerd in de vraag of het succesrecept van Auer Zunft met al zijn meesterschap nog steeds bestaat en hoe he... Meer

Primary school in Quebec epitomizes harmonious fusion of architecture, education, and nature

De in Montreal gevestigde architectuurstudio's Pelletier de Fontenay en Leclerc architectes werkten samen aan de voltooiing van École du Zénith, een basisschool die een harmonieuze samensmelting van architectuur, onderwijs en natuur belichaamt. De school ligt in Shefford, Quebec en is het resultaat van een architectuurwedstrijd die in 2019 werd uitgeschreven door de non-profitorganisatie Lab-École. (Het onderwijsmodel van Lab-École bevordert een herontworpen fysieke omgeving, de ontwikkeling van een fysiek actieve levensstijl en de adoptie van een gezond dieet voor kinderen. De wedstrijd heeft de manier waarop basisscholen in Quebec worden georganiseerd en gebouwd opnieuw geëvalueerd). James Brittain... Meer

Scuola primaria cassola

Het schoolgebouw moet een educatieve boodschap overbrengen en door zijn ruimtelijke consistentie en samenstelling zijn identiteit communiceren als een plek die gewijd is aan groei. Het is een microkosmos van functies, georganiseerd in hiërarchieën en verbindingen die het definiëren als een sociale ruimte waar leerlingen betrokken zijn bij relaties en ervaringen. Alle ruimtes zijn gecentreerd rond de agora, een dubbelhoge ruimte en ontmoetingsplaats waar de school omheen draait tijdens gemeenschappelijke en recreatieve momenten. Marco Zanta Matteo Grifalconi Matteo Grifalconi Het centrale plein is verbonden met een portiek via een grote glazen gevel, die toegang biedt tot de tuin en de sportruimte in het noorde... Meer

We looked through the eyes of a child and designed from the perspective of a teacher.A child's world of experienceThe interior of CBS De Regenboog perfectly aligns with a child's world of experience: concave and convex inner walls take center stage.

Columbia Elementary School Park Enhancement

At Fresno Unified School District, whether it's in the classroom or on the playground, safety and accessibility are paramount.

Udaan

Students spend the majority of their day in a school building during their most crucial developmental years. In this time of pivotal growth, schools must be a space for creative thinking, a source of inspiration, and a starting point for developing a sense of awareness and responsibility. A north-western, angular entrance has been aesthetically crafted to add significance without occupying more space or by compromising on natural light and ventilation. Avneesh Kumar The colourful MS louvers boldly emphasise the stairs, thus making a statement. The front facade greets you with bold, exposed bricks- which gives a very natural effect and blends with the vegetation around. Concrete texture finish on a few surfaces readily complements the...
