The Flourtown Waldorf School focuses on a creative adaptation of traditional learning systems.
Its design serves to prioritize learning with regards to a sensory experience and spatial scale
understood by children.
The school playfully interacts between architecture and environment, from indoor to outdoor
spaces and tectonic to landscape. This relationships is developed between the user and
architecture through the contrast of monumental and intimate materials. Textures, scales and
their proximity to each other invoke a secure, yet nurturing atmosphere - such as between
structural masses of concrete and tactile details like wood and intricately laid tile.
The design renews the objective of a waldorf school to activate learning in not just one way, but
in different ways, where children are free to explore and absorb at their own pace.
