FICTION
For a private elementary school, administrative offices were converted into learning, exercise, and rest areas tailored to the children‘s needs. The space, which one enters immediately after exiting the elevator, is designed as a green indoor garden with plants and pictures; which together with the adjacent exercise room forms a counterpart to the schoolyard. Core elements of the design are the modular partitions, which can be lived in, played with, and climbed through, and thus adapted to the desired use. Fresh colors have replaced the beige and gray of the original offices.
Project Manager Neue Schule Alexandra Stieper, Global Education pme Familienservice GmbH: “The concept of the school is global learning. That should be experienced in the school’s architecture. From the ‘World of Learning,’ which emerged in the workshops with the children, Die Baupiloten created ‘World Wonders.’ Now each of the ‘World Wonders’ makes global learning wonderful.”
