ENTRY #503675310
CLASSROOM TYPE
“A hundred pages breathing and dancing the music of culture.”
DESIGN STATEMENT:
The classroom is not conceived individually but is designed as part of a harmonious whole, like a piece of a larger puzzle, the Court. The complete building will open in the four corners of the perimeter, which will become four covered entrance/squares, decorated by three trees-pillar. The exterior of the complex will be characterized by the rhythm of vertical windows of the classrooms while the interior facade of the court will be characterized by the rhythm of the wooden pillars of the Portico, which are also the expressive architectural element of the project.
In fact the space of the inner courtyard will be like an open book, its pages will open on the court and will appear to move or even to dance around, opening and closing in an endless loop. The large open space boundaries will be like a musical breath crossed by students.
The Portico will be a filter between the court and the covered spaces. It will be also the internal distribution ring that provides access to the classrooms but it could be used as study area, social space and relax zone.
In addition to the spatial quality given by the succession of Court-Portico-Classrooms, another plus of the project is the flexibility of the classrooms that consist of two areas: a larger space for the class and a smaller space for “expansion” that can act as classroom entrance, study area and meeting space. The two areas are separated by mobile libraries that could be moved in such a way that the space would result in different configurations that can accommodate different activities, like conference, exhibition, and performances.
The classrooms are cheap and low-tech modules, and provide spatial quality, hygrothermal comfort, natural lighting and flexibility. The different spaces created by the modules can be lived 24 hours on 24 for any type of activity, both outside but especially indoors, protected by the rains. However, the spaces will be completed by handicrafts fruit of local culture, textiles, and carved in wood tiles.
