Résumé

Au 2e semestre, nous poursuivrons l'exploration de la rénovation à Renens, centrée sur les espaces d'apprentissage. Comment dépasser les standards scolaires figés pour imaginer des lieux réversibles, modulaires et ouverts, où l'éducation peut se déployer dans des formes multiples ?

Contenu

In the 2nd semester, we'll continue the explosion of building renovation and transformation in Renens with a focus on spaces of learning.

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.
