Innovative Bioclimatic European School
2010 - Crete | Greece
Appointment: 2010
Completion: 2010
Area: 3.000 m2
Location: Crete | Greece
Status: Competition
Architect: PEOPLE

The primary impetus behind this bold project was the dialogue between Crete’s outdoor architectural traditions and bioclimatic standards of design. Three ‘incisions’ in the landscape provide the empty spaces which constitute the yards of each unit: the kindergarten, primary school and secondary school. Offering a protected outdoor space for each separate age group, these function as the central cores around which are situated the classrooms.

 

 

On the complex’s higher levels smaller open spaces can be found, where the structural grid provides areas which can function as spacious outdoor classrooms.
