The school prototype situates itself as a gesture for interaction, interplay and exchange, as a unit that emulates and is in dialogue with its context; and nourishes a sense of belonging and community. Responding to the crucial role that interaction plays in the development of students in early education, Social interaction plays a pivotal role in primary schools, benefiting children’s overall development. It fosters crucial skills such as communication, teamwork, empathy, and conflict resolution, enhancing emotional intelligence and social competence. Research shows that positive social interactions positively impact academic achievement, cognitive growth, and psychological well-being (Pianta et al., 2019). Moreover, socialization contributes to building self-confidence, forming friendships, and shaping positive attitudes towards diversity and inclusivity (Wentzel & Caldwell, 2018). These interpersonal experiences lay a foundation for lifelong social skills and successful future relationships.
Floorplan & Section
The school prototype situates itself as a gesture for intera- ction, interplay and exchange, as a unit that emulates and is in dialogue with its context; and nourishes a sense of belonging and community. The prototype traces its character from the Diola compounds in the Casamance region, south of Senegal, as a covered radial arrangement of volumes connected by a circular path spread around an open shared area.
Exploaded Axonometry
Having one common collision area in the core promotes interaction, openness and a sense of unity, while direct access towards the common core, creates a seamless integration of all classes and ages into a common classroom beyond the rigid constraints of conventional education; where activities such as playing, outdoor learning, eating, and leisure take place.
The Alternating volumes strategy allows for uninterrupted interconnected passage through classes and facilities alike, as a physical manifestation of equality and flat hierarchy.
