Na Zatáčce Elementary School

THE SCHOOL IS THE SHIP ON WHICH WE SAIL THROUGH UNKNOWN WATERS, BUT ALSO THE SAFE HARBOUR IN WHICH WE CAN LAND. THE DESIGN EMPHASIZES THESE TWO FUNCTIONS WITH ITS STATIC OPULENCE, WHICH HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SCHOOL AS A GUARDIAN OF EDUCATION, PROGRESS AND INCLUSION. THE VERTICALITY OF THE PROTRUDING RIDGES BREAKS UP THE OVERALL HORIZONTALITY OF THE BUILDING, AND THE LARGE WINDOW AREAS PROVIDE IT AN ACTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS. NA ZATÁČCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS AN EXAMPLE OF A MODERN OPEN SCHOOL THAT PUTS THE PUPILS AND THEIR NEEDS FIRST. IT EMPHASISES OPENNESS, CONNECTION, ACTIVITY AND CREATIVITY, ENGAGES ITSELF IN WIDER RELATIONSHIPS, OFFERS SPACES TO LOCAL PEOPLE AND TRIES TO SHOW THAT SCHOOL AND EDUCATION IN GENERAL CAN LOOK DIFFERENT.
