Classroom of the Future, Australia

La escuela proyectada por LAVA en Australia es un espacio de aprendizaje para el futuro, sostenible e integrada con el paisaje. Reubicable es el concepto que da solución a los cambios demográficos, a las necesidades de las comunidades a distancia, y a los desastres naturales, escuelas hasta ahora resueltas como espacios baratos y desagradables. La idea es reformularlos, creando espacios sostenibles, prácticos, rentables y emocionantes para el aprendizaje. El diseño sostenible incluye la prefabricación, el uso de eco-materiales, la geometría simétrica repetible y pequeños elementos ligeros modulares y fácilmente transportables. El sistema de fachada modular es manualmente operable y flexible a la luz y la sombra, creando espacios cerrados o abiertos hacia el exterior o el interior. La personalización es de bajo costo, genera una baja emisión de carbono, se adapta a climas variados y a diferentes configuraciones y topografías.

LAVA’s school relocatable is a learning space for the future. The classroom for 21st century learning is sustainable, integrates with the landscape, connects with the school environment, and is suitable for prefabrication and mass customisation.

Relocatables are the decades old solution to changing demographics, remote community needs, and natural disasters. Unsightly, they are perceived as cheap and unpleasant spaces.

This idea is upturned with spaces that are sustainable, practical, cost- effective whilst making learning fun and exciting.

Sustainable design includes prefabrication, eco-materials, symmetrical repeatable geometry, and small lightweight easily transportable modular elements. The modular façade system is manually operable, flexible for light and shade, enclosed space or open space, bringing the outside in or the inside out. Mass customisation is low cost, low carbon, with off-site prefabrication allowing responsive assembly, and adapts to varied climates, unusual configurations and topographies.

The ‘three axis’ geometry design allows interlocking of various configurations to adapt to changing class sizes, learning clusters and future learning methods.

This cellular space for learning strengthens the connection between mankind, nature and technology.

The design received a ‘Jury Special Mention’ in the Australian Future Proofing School competition and was on show in December 2011 at the Wunderlich Gallery, University of Melbourne.
