Creative ideas in campus environment design?
3. Design a comfortable and interesting communication space
A comfortable and interesting communication space on campus is not only conducive to the exchange of ideas between students, improve learning efficiency, but also improve the relationship between teachers and students, enhance the friendship of students, and more importantly, cultivate students' communication skills, so that they can learn to share and become more cheerful.
first, design the office space in the classroom to promote the smooth communication between teachers and students. For example, many classrooms in the United States will set aside office space, where teachers can work and answer students' questions at any time, provide students with learning assistance, and ensure timely and smooth feedback of all kinds of information.
Secondly, design modular or folding furniture to create conditions for students to discuss in groups. For example, students' desks and chairs can be designed in an integrated way, so that each person's seat has the function of storing things and can be moved easily. In this way, when students need to discuss in groups, they can get together in the most comfortable way quickly as long as they move their chairs. In addition, the public space outside the classroom can be opened for four or five students to discuss activities together. In the specific design, students can be attracted by improving the artistry, interest and comfort of furniture in the environment. For example, Erika Mann Primary School in Berlin, Germany provides sofas for students in the corridor outside the classroom. Cave? 、? Nest? There are five types of seats: base and folding chair. Among them, folding chairs can provide a variety of different folding angles, and students can find the most comfortable seats according to their own preferences. The works of students on both sides of the corridor and the installation of mirrors enhance the sense of hierarchy and belonging in the space.
Schools can also provide students with walls in public spaces where they can draw and write, so that students can get together and express their thoughts and ideas by drawing. For example, in the dining room of Menjarosa School in Spain, the outer wall facing the playground is designed as a big blackboard for students to paint at will, which not only strengthens the correlation between the dining room and the classroom, but also makes the building form a good interaction with the students.
4. Design a campus space that highlights cultural characteristics and geographical features
The geographical environment, surrounding natural scenery and its own cultural characteristics constitute the unique characteristics of the school. Schools should turn it into useful educational resources, so that campus environment design can present a unique aesthetic perspective, and then convey its unique spirit and culture to every teacher and student through these design elements.
first, the layout of campus buildings is based on the cultural characteristics of the school. For example, in order to highlight its football culture, UNO Primary School Football College in Chicago, USA, built the school's learning center, administrative area and classroom around the football field. The large glass structure in the building enhanced the relevance between the school and the community.
secondly, based on the geographical characteristics of the campus, we should create the architectural style of the campus. For example: Evelyn in London, England? Grace Middle School takes advantage of its geographical position between two main residential roads to create a school building with a sense of modernity and speed, which not only achieves overall harmony with the surrounding buildings, but also has a high degree of recognition. The Maurize School in Portugal takes the skyline outline of the city as the design element, which makes its building have a rigorous strip appearance, and the winding roof clearly outlines the urban skyline on the fa? ade. The morphological characteristics of the exterior of the building also make the interior of the building present a variety of spatial forms.
thirdly, make use of the natural landscape features around the campus to design the campus landscape. Campus design should make full use of the surrounding natural scenery to make it an important part of campus landscape, or integrate campus landscape with natural scenery to create a unique campus environment. For example, Strawberry Valley School in Canada is located in the unique oak forest in the Pacific coast. The school turns this precious natural resource into an available educational resource, and plans the architectural structure and architectural mode of the campus as a whole.
fourthly, keep historical and cultural elements in campus design. For example, the architectural design of the Roman Catholic primary school Bonifacius has retained traces of history. Although the school as a whole is a modern building with a metal facade, many classical elements, such as brick bases and curved doors and windows, which are often used in Roman and medieval buildings, are used in the detailed design, and the brick walls are always preserved? Lord Saint Boniface? Words. These elements * * * together create an image of a century-old tradition, and pass these traditions on to make contributions to the development of contemporary culture.
Third, creative design: pay attention to environmental protection and concentration, and promote the formation of students' good habits
1. Pay attention to the sustainable design of campus environment
Creating a sustainable campus environment can not only directly reduce the energy consumption of the campus itself, but also enable students to develop good habits of protecting the environment and saving energy through experience, and feel their social responsibilities from the details of life. For new schools, sustainable planning and design means seeking to preserve the existing green resources and strengthen the construction of campus drainage system while changing the site standards. For existing campuses, it is necessary to emphasize the protection of ecological communities and support local ecosystems. Considering the ecology of the campus itself, sustainable design forms an ecological community environment by enriching plant species and combinations, while using recyclable and non-toxic building materials. For example: the first batch of independent schools in Britain? Krishna-Avanti Primary School makes full use of its original landscape features, and uses the soil excavated during foundation excavation as a sound insulation belt and a mound for children to play with; Vegetable gardens and orchards not only serve as teaching resources for schools, but also supply organic food for school kitchens; The roof covered with plants will use the collected rainwater to irrigate the garden. Italian Ponzano Primary School follows the principles of sustainability and energy saving in its design, and greatly reduces the energy consumption of the school with good orientation, thick insulating materials, green roofs and sophisticated technologies (geothermal energy, photovoltaic panels, naturally ventilated chimneys and building automation systems).
2. Advocating multi-functional design of learning space
It is very important for children's growth and forming good habits of saving resources to meet complex functions and keep everything in order in this limited space on campus. From the design point of view, people can improve the efficiency of space use through clever space separation and flexible furniture design. For example, using folding furniture in public space is not only convenient to move, but also saves storage space; Use? Multi-purpose? The concept of space design, not only saves money and space, but also increases the fun of life. Flexible spatial transformation makes students' thinking more flexible. Students can not only feel the wisdom of life brought by the environment, but also have a personal understanding of the life view of efficient use of resources. For example, in Xishan Primary School in London, England, a lot of furniture in the classroom can be easily moved, so the space boundary can be easily controlled. As large as two classes (61 students) and as small as a few people, group and personalized learning can be satisfied. Not only that, the enclosure and storage wall in the classroom are fused together, and a magnetic whiteboard is installed on the surface of the wall, which can be used for writing or slide show. These designs greatly improve the flexibility and utilization of space.
In addition, schools can meet different forms of teaching needs through different arrangements of desks and chairs in classrooms. For example, put the tables and chairs into a big U-shape, a small U-shape or a small L-shape for discussion between teachers and students or between students; A movable partition is installed in the middle of the big classroom, which can be divided into two small classrooms when necessary, greatly improving the function of the classroom. Schools can also enhance the space function through some design methods, such as designing a row of low cabinets on one side of the classroom, which can be used as storage cabinets for teaching supplies and seats for students' activities, and so on.
3. Increase the reading space for students
In the design, schools should consider how to improve students' reading interest, meet students' reading needs and encourage students' reading habits.
First, strengthen the construction of the library on campus. In addition to the openness in management, the school can create a pleasant reading space for students through color design or theme design; Different styles of chairs can be designed for students to choose the most comfortable way to enjoy reading time. For example, the inner space of the library of Notre Dame School of Southern Cross in Australia uses soft colors to make the space pleasant and energetic.
Secondly, make full use of public space on campus to create as many reading opportunities as possible for students. For example, in many schools in the United States, every classroom has a reading corner, where many periodicals and books related to the course are placed for students to read at any time during recess. In addition, bookshelves and seats for reading can be set up in corridors outside classrooms, conference rooms and waiting areas in public service areas to create a good reading atmosphere for students. ;
