Seto SOLAN Primary School, in Seto, Japan, is a project by Tezuka Architects<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Tezuka<\/p>\n

Tezuka Architects<\/strong> practice designed the Seto SOLAN Primary School<\/a> in Seto, Japan: a new prototype elementary school, supported by ITC, Seto and Aichi. The school is based on an innovative, free-spirited and international education system. Each student is in fact free to explore and study <\/strong>topics chosen according to their interests and aptitudes by using a tablet provided by the school.<\/p>\n

\"Tezuka<\/p>\n

The project of the Seto SOLAN Primary School<\/h3>\n

Seto SOLAN Primary School was created between two building blocks of an old concrete school building. Instead of demolishing the old building, Tezuka Architects salvaged and renovated it, creating a new wooden structure. The removed nonstructural parts of the building created a large, welcoming learning space that serves as a public corridor and connects laterally to a sequence of classrooms. The latter, designed as stores facing the street, are named Cordon bleu, Da Vinci Lab, Socrates Lab, and Alexandria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Between the classrooms and the common space, where teachers and students gather, there are no boundaries; in fact, the environments are continuous, open and fluid. As a consequence, pupils’ learning is neither passive nor bound to a class or a specific academic year, but develops freely and spontaneously according to one\u2019s interests and abilities.<\/p>\n

\"Tezura<\/p>\n

The walls and ceilings of classrooms and hallways have been made of sound-absorbing material to foster pupils’ concentration and learning. In fact, the acoustic system avoids sound reflections and distortions, reducing their reverberation and ensuring maximum comfort in all rooms.<\/p>\n
