A LEAP OF THE CENTURY, OFF TO ANOTHER.
The most common schools in and around our community are most often huge complexes of boxes with mere functional purposes…but customization is what this era yearns for.

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN FAÇADES
A STRIPY FACADE MODELLED ON A SKYLINE BOUNDS THE CIRCULAR CAMPUS OF THIS MELBOURNE PRIMARY SCHOOL.
THE SCHOOL ACTS AS A WALLED CITY, PROTECTING SMALL TAILORED COMMUNAL TEACHING SPACES LINKED WITH OPEN COURTYARDS. THE WALLED CITY METAPHOR IS ONE THAT HAD RELEVANCE WITH MANY OF THE SUBURB'S NEW ETHNIC GROUPS,
LANDSCAPE
Broadmeadows, as the name < suggests, lacks
urbanism. For the architects it was important
that this building provide some urban density and
that it gave the new school presence and identity
within the suburb.
INTERIOR COLOURS
The bold colour scheme continues throughout the interiors, helping to aid orientation around the campus.
CLASSROOMS
THE BUILDINGS THAT MAKE UP THE COMPLEX ARE DIVIDE UP INTO DIFFERENT AGE RANGES, CREATING TEACHING FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN UP TO THE AGE OF 12. MANY SPACES ALSO DOUBLE UP AS COMMUNITY FACILITIES, INCLUDING A PAIR OF SPORTS HALLS THAT CAN BE USED FOR LOCAL EVENTS.
COURTYARD

services such as fire safety, drainage
manholes so that its accessible from a wider
span.
>The central zone is utilized for
planting.

The horizontally expanding horizon sets to stand as a wall for the city of education. The ebullient array of colours drawn across add to the connectivity of the horizontal
element of design.
Brief :
McBride Charles Ryan was asked to bring together three
existing primary schools in the Melbourne suburb of
Dallas, which is one of the city's most deprived
neighbourhoods. It is also home to a multiracial
community with roots in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and
Sudan
Keen for the complex to
provide a community
hub as well as a school, the
architects developed a
concept based on walled cities – a
typology that the team felt
would resonate with
different cultural groups.

ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND
Architect : DMR Architects
Client : St Joseph’s School For the Blind
Area : 465 sq. m
Completed : 2009
Structure type : Composite framework
Concept : Visually appealing in tactile properties
Number of users : 220
EXTERIOR VIEW
The design amenities of the
school match many dominant features such as
pitched roofs, arched windows, accent ceramic tiles and custom brick masonry
details.
The attention to detail in
designing the space was
paramount to the functionality of
the school to best serve the students.
KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS
With learning aids, the physically challenged kids are able to widen their horizons and create an aura for themselves.
With a huge part of the education
dedicated to visual senses, there are
few alternatives that have guided
the paths of these tiny tots.
KINESTHETIC AND VISUAL AIDS
>The children with Red-Green Colour Blindness are provided with computer aided systems in which the colours that they predict are used to teach basic theories.

TEIKYO UNIVERSITY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
TOKYO, JAPAN
TEIKYO UNIVERSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Architect: Kengo Kuma
Client: Teikyo University
Area: 834 sq m
Completed: 2012
Structure type: Timber framework
Concept: Traditional Japanese Houses
Number of users: 540
EXTERIOR VIEW
Most classrooms are arranged along the southern side of the building, which is lined with glazing on all three floors. A first-floor balcony also stretches across this elevation, allowing a double-height recess below the eaves.
CLASSROOMS
Japanese architect Kengo Kuma conceived this primary school in north-west Tokyo as the modern equivalent of a traditional Japanese schoolhouse with timber-clad walls
CIRCULATION SPACES
The form is changed accordingly to the volume of each classroom. As the result, it has grown to a building that looks like 12 different-sectioned terraced houses being arranged in a row.
ROOFS AND SHADES
>By changing its length and height of eave, roof can create multi-formity to respond to its environment and different programs. > A big roof to run through the entire building, differentiating expressions on each side – a relaxed face toward south where abundant green of Tama hill expands – and subtle appearance to the north facing public housing standing in lines.
AMBIENCE AS A HOUSE
The Teikyo University Elementary School comprises a row of twelve connected classroom buildings that Kengo Kuma and Associates also compares to a row of terraced houses.
