3rd Prize“Pedagogy & Space”“From the way a child plays one can surmise how it will seize its life tasks as an adult.” (Rudolf Steiner)The new L-shaped two-story building defines the streetscape while the transparent architecture of the school and kindergarten area meanders along the differentiated design of the green space (wild garden).Zones for playing, learning, and working in a collective atmosphere and under the open air – spaces to stimulate creative and social capacities (Steiner) – are provided in a varied dramaturgy.“Community, contemplation, nature, creativity: The spatial concept follows the pedagogical maxims.”The autonomous spaces are oriented toward the central three-story courtyard, the heart of the complex, a meeting and communication point for the children, teachers, and parents. It mediates the different levels of the complex and offers space for a wide range of activities. The school rooms (ground and 1st floor), the creative floor (1st sublevel), and the sports halls (2nd sublevel) are spatially and functionally interwoven.P R O J E C T D E T A I L S
