Competition for the design of new collaborative spaces 
Second Prize

This project of intervention in the existing building of the school was developed through the Design Thinking methodology.

The educative framework is changing and it has been proved that most of the learning happens outside the classroom, especially regarding those skills students need to be successful after graduation: the ability to think clearly, to communicate, articulate and persuade, to teamwork and collaborate…

In this context, our proposal is to create a transformed study area as a macroenvironment that supports collaborative, project-based work and social needs, as well as individual focused work. The adjacency of open spaces to more shielded settings allows students to manage distractions as needed.

In a unique environment, there is the creation of different spaces, with different heights, design, postures and comfort, which will allow the users to choose the space that best supports their needs. Moreover, the lighting and acoustic control are especially important, in order to create the ideal environment for work and concentration.
