INNS images not factories Public schools in Shanghai are conservative in their pedagogy and factory-like in their architecture. The new Chonggu Experimental School however provides the potential for a shift in pedagogy from the traditional disciplinary model to less formal, enquiry-based approaches. It also presents a paradigm shift in formal expression – a design shaped for joy, play and dreaming. INNS images daydreaming Inspired by the site’s canal and by the lyrical drawings of late architect, Zhang Zai Yuan, the formal language of the school is dream-like, another world, a world of innovation, cr...

The demolition of the existing school building on the site of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwecollege on the Frankrijklei and its replacement by a new building should provide an answer to the demand for additional school infrastructure on the site, created by extra traffic through the creation of a kindergarten on the one hand and by the relocation of the humanities of 'De Dames' to the site of the college in 2018 on the other. The existing L-building on Louiza-Marialei, designed by Rie Haan in the 1960s, has not been in use for several years. This is due to the poor constructional and physical properties of the building. Taking into account the poor condition and the small size of the classrooms, the Onze – Lieve – Vrouwecollege decided... More

Multiple options were identified and explored, including combinations of building renovations, consolidation, and new facilities. The selected option to improve the elementary... More

Hollis Primary School (HPS) in Hollis, New Hampshire has served its community for generations. Just as the school’s dedicated teachers continually refresh the curriculum for students in pre-kindergarten through third grade, the community, led by the school staff, school board, parents and the Hollis Energy Committee, recognized the need to modernize the building for comfort and sustainability. Mitsubishi Electric Zoned Comfort Solutions® would prove essential to this retrofit. HPS is housed within a brick masonry building built in 1952. Prior to its modernization, the facility had no insulation. The walls had an R-value of 1, equivalent to a single pane of glass. The uninsulated slab of the building was above grade and resulted i...

The project is born taking into account two main considerations:1 The place, with its topography and geometry, gives shape to the floor plan. The site becomes the landmark of the project.2 Being a nursery school forced us to keep user-friendly and familiar stairs even though the use of unevenness was needed in order to achieve a direct contact of the rooms with the playground.The place because of its area and its topography was determinant in the architectural aspect of the school. Although it is advisable to plan the different spaces on one floor, in this particular case we had to consider two floors. It division into two floors with different accesses was our proposal in order to solve the problem of the slope.The tridimensional organizat... More

bureau SLA designed a school building that is a teacher itself. In the Nature and Environment Learning Centre in Amsterdam sustainability can be easily experienced and understood by children. In Amsterdam, every primary school student is provided with his or her own 6m2 garden to care for. These students are also enrolled in classes where they learn about nature and the environment, held in one of the buildings dedicated to the purpose throughout Amsterdam. As of this year though, Amsterdam Noord becomes host to a new building designed specifically for this purpose: the Nature & Environment Learning Centre.This new building replaces two temporary structures (which housed the program for the previous five years). In addition to bein... More
