Многим детям в Монголии нередко приходится добираться до школы при температуре минус 45 °С. При этом расстояние может составлять до 20 километров. Участникам предлагается разработать проект школы для обучения 100 учеников. Он должен учитывать суровые климатические условия, обеспечивать безопасность и комфорт детей и учителей. Организаторы просят учесть не только эстетическую составляющую, но также продумать вопросы освещения и вентиляции, рационального распределения пространства, транспортной доступности.
How do you get to school if it’s minus 45 °C outside?How do you gain an education when your nearest school is 20km away? We are asking you to help us design a ‘Cool School’ for a community in Mongolia.
A well designed school environment has a huge impact on a child’s learning. It can affect a child’s academic progress over a year by as much as 25%. We are looking for a school design which considers lighting, ventilation, environmental conditions, materials, space, comfort, accessibility, adaptability and aesthetics.
This is a chance to shape the future of school buildings across cold regions globally. Help create classrooms which engage and inspire children, improving their education.
The aim of this design challenge is to:
Encourage and reward design excellence at a small scale which integrates function, structure, details and the need for education.
Research, respond to and highlight the unique aspects of designing a school in a freezing climate with the constraints of the site.
Encourage the employment of sustainable design in all aspects of the proposal.
