Synthesis
Schools are impactful structures for society as they are the places where we can learn the basic things about how we can operate as individuals in our society. Also, in schools, we can learn about how to perceive our surroundings - buildings and open spaces - and how to inhabit them. Having that in mind, we designed structures with different shapes, combined in ways that create a playful optical output. On the other hand, we designed the inside with the thought of having the biggest space possible for the classrooms and also creating routes going from one volume to the other and from the inside to the outside, experiencing the building in every possible way. As far as the schoolyard is concerned, we designed two spaces on two different levels. Last but not least, the school provides its students with gym facilities. To be exact, the underground floor has two pools of different sizes along with locker rooms.
The functions are divided in every volume based on the required space. The big classrooms for the infants, the kitchen and the offices of the headmaster and the faculty are all located on the first volume/ground floor. The second volume consists of classrooms for the elementary kids, an office for the teaching staff, and a direct connection to the upper yard. The two structures are connected with the main staircase and an elevator which are inside a distinct smaller volume made of concrete.
