Résumé

Au 2ème semestre nous allons approfondir cette exploration en prenant comme programme les espaces d'apprentissage. Que ce soit des écoles, des ateliers, des garderies et en questionnant les standards afin d'imaginer des lieux d'apprentissage hybrides, et décloisonnés entre intérieur et extérieur.

Contenu

In the 2nd semester, we'll be renovating each other's projects. Imagine it's 20-30 years in the future, and our short-term renovations we projected in the 1st semester, have cleared the way for new programs and typologies. We'll swap sites and projects, deciding whether to continue, reuse, adapt, or even demolish the interventions from the 1st semester. We'll explore a range of possible futures!

Today, many disciplines, including architecture, are questioning the role of standards. These standards, whether criticized for their negative economic impact or for homogenizing cultures and practices, are intended to reassure us and offer guarantees. But what guarantees are we truly seeking?

Imagine a classroom with 12 tables, 24 chairs lined up, a blackboard, and a window. A wide staircase leads to a central shared space where coat racks are located. Surrounding this space are four classrooms, each measuring 80 square meters, providing 4 square meters per pupil. Ideally, these rooms would have windows glazed to a height of 80 cm and face different directions. However, the traditional layout is not conducive to pedagogical interaction. The teacher typically occupies the floor space at the front of the class.

What if we reimagined these spaces? Public buildings could be designed to serve multiple purposes, and be reversible, allowing their functions to change without disrupting the entire building. Flexible, modular spaces with good lighting and acoustics could be created to support a wide range of activities.

We might envision learning under a tree, or holding classes on the sports hall's stands, which could also serve as a theater. Students could learn to count in workshops dedicated to ceramics, wood, and metal.

It all starts with education.
