Our team worked carefully to immerse themselves in the context, including field trips and visits to international schools in Dubai. This provided insights into how educational institutions are structured in that country, and what cultural and social aspects need to be taken into account. For example, there is a requirement for a prayer room to be located in a school. When a kindergarten and school are simultaneously located in the same building, it is necessary to locate not only the kindergarten but also the entire elementary school space at ground level. Strongly influencing the organization of the site are the requirements for car and bus parking and traffic management. Among the specific local requirements is the mandatory shading of the site.
