Welcome to the new school routine
I recently visited a large comprehensive school in Münster as part of a jury. It was only at second glance that I noticed what was so unusual in the exemplary flat wooden building: there
was no blackboard anywhere in the classrooms, no books, notebooks or writing utensils anywhere. Why? Today the students read on their tablets, which they also use for writing. The classic school bag no longer exists. Paper was yesterday. All you need to pack the tablet is a small bag. In hardly any other public institution has everyday life changed as much as in schools. Architecture reacts to this change. She adapts her room program to new digital teaching methods and pedagogical concepts.
For this concept issue, my colleague Peter Popp has put together current school buildings for you that implement these changes in a variety of ways.
The buildings in Copenhagen and Munich, Madrid and Antwerp are built for different types of schools. Nevertheless, they have one thing in common:
their rooms are not monofunctional, but rather multi-layered. They represent an offer. The opportunities for social interaction and encounters are important. This is probably the most important thing in schools in the digital age: students need an environment in which they can come closer to each other, test themselves in the community and develop socially.
The question is how best to achieve this.
