when an education in nature is not easily accessible, taking the classroom to the schoolyard or park seems to be the best option to stimulate creativity, and the natural tendency of children to explore.
school cupolas can generate outdoor classrooms, with an expansive area of shadow that establishes the interior of the class, while maintaining immersive contact with the air and energy flows of the outside.
traditional classrooms are structured with straight lines and planes, and normally their interior is totally separated from nature. they are arranged in a hierarchical and static way, and as a result they do not tend to inspire a sense of shelter or protection in children.
classroom cupolas, on the other hand integrate the organic geometry that is embodied in the forms of nature, and its sequences and evolutions communicate qualities of sustainability and inclusion. it reproduces qualities of the environment and then becomes part of it.
classroom cupolas are spaces that shelter and provide well- being for children and teachers. they invite them to reconfigure the organic and dynamic of their form of meeting, and to explore new ways of learning. it is the ideal space for the evolution of the school educational community.
