The design for the future school model in Ukraine is based on a scalable, replicable, and economically efficient construction model that enables easy and rapid assembly and implementation. This standardised design can be effortlessly adapted to different geographic regions, climates, plot shapes, and topographies, ensuring versatility and functionality across various contexts. To provide comfort and maintain a human-scale design, the large institutional volume is divided into smaller, interconnected parts with a variety of functional green spaces. The base profile of the structural frames is designed to accommodate different angles for the pitched roofs, allowing for steeper slopes in regions with heavy snow and gentler slopes with longer eaves in sunnier areas. Additionally, cantilevering elements create self-shading features, optimizing energy efficiency and comfort. The linear and repetitive building pattern is strategically interrupted in key areas where common activities occur, effectively blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. These thoughtfully designed transitions foster a seamless integration of the school’s educational, social, and recreational functions, enhancing the overall learning environment while respecting local environmental conditions and cultural contexts.
