ENTRANCE AND EAST FAÇADE

A STRIPY FACADE MODELLED ON A SKYLINE BOUNDS THE CIRCULAR CAMPUS OF THIS MELBOURNE PRIMARY SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL ACTS AS A WALLED CITY, PROTECTING SMALL TAILORED COMMUNAL TEACHING SPACES LINKED WITH OPEN COURTYARDS. THE WALLED CITY METAPHOR IS ONE THAT HAD RELEVANCE WITH MANY OF THE SUBURB'S NEW ETHNIC GROUPS,

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN FAÇADES

Broadmeadows, as the name < suggests, lacks urbanism. For the architects it was important that this building provide some urban density and that it gave the new school presence and identity within the suburb.

LANDSCAPE

The bold colour scheme continues throughout the interiors, helping to aid orientation around the campus.

INTERIOR COLOURS

THE BUILDINGS THAT MAKE UP THE COMPLEX ARE DIVIDE UP INTO DIFFERENT AGE RANGES, CREATING TEACHING FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN FROM KINDERGARTEN UP TO THE AGE OF 12. MANY SPACES ALSO DOUBLE UP AS COMMUNITY FACILITIES, INCLUDING A PAIR OF SPORTS HALLS THAT CAN BE USED FOR LOCAL EVENTS.

CLASSROOMS

>The courtyard consists of all services such as fire safety, drainage manholes so that its accessible from a wider span. >The central zone is utilized for planting.

COURTYARD

The angular profile of the wall was derived from silhouetted imagery of the school's surroundings

WEST FAÇADE

The glass façade gives an inter connective link between the exterior and the interior so that the the common goal of sportsmanship stands out.

SPORTS COMPLEXES

>A pedestrian circuit defines a structured inner landscape. >Rationalised green spaces accommodates sporting facilities and playground. >Open green park

GROUND PLAN

The horizontally expanding horizon sets to stand as a wall for the city of education. The ebullient array of colours drawn across add to the connectivity of the horizontal element of design.

SECTIONS

Brief : McBride Charles Ryan was asked to bring together three existing primary schools in the Melbourne suburb of Dallas, which is one of the city's most deprived neighbourhoods. It is also home to a multiracial community with roots in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon and Sudan

Keen for the complex to provide a community hub as well as a school, the architects developed a concept based on walled cities – a typology that the team felt would resonate with different cultural groups.

CONSTRUCTION OF WALLS

Steel as well as timber played hand in hand role in the formation of the roof.

FRAMEWORK FOR ROOF TRUSSES

Though cement blocks were predominantly used, the red bricks were used for the foundation upto the plinthal level.

ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND

The design amenities of the school match many dominant features such as pitched roofs, arched windows, accent ceramic tiles and custom brick masonry details. The attention to detail in designing the space was paramount to the functionality of the school to best serve the students.

EXTERIOR VIEW

With a huge part of the education dedicated to visual senses, there are few alternatives that have guided the paths of these tiny tots. With learning aids, the physically challenged kids are able to widen their horizons and create an aura for themselves.

KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS

>The children with Red-Green Colour Blindness are provided with computer aided systems in which the colours that they predict are used to teach basic theories.

TOKYO, JAPAN

TEIKYO UNIVERSITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Most classrooms are arranged along the southern side of the building, which is lined with glazing on all three floors. A first-floor balcony also stretches across this elevation, allowing a double-height recess below the eaves.

EXTERIOR VIEW

Japanese architect Kengo Kuma conceived this primary school in north-west Tokyo as the modern equivalent of a traditional Japanese schoolhouse with timber-clad walls

CLASSROOMS

The form is changed accordingly to the volume of each classroom. As the result, it has grown to a building that looks like 12 different-sectioned terraced houses being arranged in a row.

CIRCULATION SPACES

>By changing its length and height of eave, roof can create multi-formity to respond to its environment and different programs. > A big roof to run through the entire building, differentiating expressions on each side – a relaxed face toward south where abundant green of Tama hill expands – and subtle appearance to the north facing public housing standing in lines.

ROOFS AND SHADES

AMBIENCE AS A HOUSE

The Teikyo University Elementary School comprises a row of twelve connected classroom buildings that Kengo Kuma and Associates also compares to a row of terraced houses.
