Design Summary:
Abetenim Community Secondary School
Design Team: Cameron Deynzer, Gwena Gilbert, Olivia Collinson and Olivia Owen from Jasmax Architects
Design Summary:
The idea of designing a classroom, a hall, a dormitory or even an entire school offers more than an opportunity to design a space. It operates as a device to enable, condition, structure or restructure human experience. The concept behind this design is to demonstrate how architecture and construction, when driven by human issues and ethical practices, can foster sustainable social development.
We move beyond designing a classroom and think about how the building can have a deeper meaning. What if, through the construction of this built work, we can harness local communities through direct employment and upskilling? Local tools, resources and input will give this classroom and school a much more deeply rooted meaning as in sits in the landscape for many years to come.
The staging of the classroom unit encourages multiple uses across the site as funding becomes available for building. For example, the roof can be constructed separately to act as a sunshade, providing an outdoor classroom or respite from the heat.
Our design aims to create a better lifestyle for the users rather than just a teaching space; a sheltered, outdoor orientated building that flows seamlessly between inside and outside, and one that has a positive and meaningful contribution to the environment.
