11. The architecture of a School needs to
support the process of learning. The
buildings environment must facilitate a
multi-disciplinary way of learning where
no experience is isolated from the learning
process. Space should be linked to
pedagogy.
NOWarchitecture believes that an enlightened
approach to education and school facility design
motivates and develops assured and confident citizens.
For positive change, the educational method must
defend and extend the potential of children, teachers
and parents. New educational philosophy must assist
the individual to achieve full personal potential, personal
confidence, self esteem and emotional maturity.
Design excellence counts. Good indoor air quality,
ventilation, temperature, lighting and acoustics produce
notable positive learning outcomes. Building quality,
age, spatial configuration, and aesthetics also have a
significant affect. Research by US education scholar
Mark Schneider concludes that, “Decisions about school
facilities, once translated into brick-and-mortar, affect
the daily performance of the generations of teachers
and students who use them” and also that “many
studies link the effects of building quality to academic
achievement [and] to student behaviour.”
Design for sustainability supports the educational
process on multiple levels. It provides the environmental
conditions and personal comfort to produce positive
outcomes, it reduces the impact on our planet and
transforms the school’s very buildings and spaces into a
resource for learning and environmental experience.
NOWarchitecture understand that there needs to be a
shift in design philosophy for Educational Building.
The traditional school has been based on a more
regimented, uniform method of teaching which
encourages competitiveness, with success often
measured through comparison to your colleague. This
strategy implies self-satisfaction through a perception of
superiority and conversely, to others the imbued sense of
failure can be debilitating.
Today we have access to a vast amount of information,
new skills are required, new careers that are yet to
be defined will challenge today’s students in their
adulthood. While looking back and respecting history is
an honour and privilege, looking forward with courage,
vision and faith is vital for continuing growth and
relevance.
Rational, uniform planning is not the answer, but neither
is an unfocussed or haphazard approach. The best
results will be a manifestation of:
• the aspirations of the School and its mission
• a logical framework and planning
• excellent environmental performance
•
be infused with elements of surprise and delight
