Extension of Helvetia School in Bogotá

EL EQUIPO MAZZANTI



Project description

THE EDUCATIONAL SPACE IS IN ITSELF A LEARNING AND PLAYING MECHANISM The project is part of the master plan for expansion and reorganization of the Helvetia school. PERFORMANCE AND PEDAGOGICAL INTERESTS The value of the educational space must be in what it is capable of promoting in terms of relationships and behaviors, in this sense the project is itself a playful and playful learning device.The fundamental pedagogical objective of the project is to generate as many experiences and discoveries for children's learning and play. The project is a spatial instrument that is based on discontinuity and the appearance of meeting subspaces; seeking the greatest spatial diversity that allows a child from CURIOSITY to constantly DISCOVER what produces EMOTION; As children run on roofs, they roll on walls and many other ways to use empty space as a playing instrument. The building itself is a game-building and relationship-building mechanism. ARCHITECTURE IS THE THIRD TEACHER.
