The solution addresses how the design of spaces can enrich and support learning, by giving the pupil the opportunity to curiously explore new fields of knowledge as a natural part of the school day.

The Jurys says

This solution shows how design can address the very roots of our society – even education. The “space as co-educator” is a playful learning environment that celebrates the joy of learning across generations. Children, parents and educators are united in an inspirational space, where visual content is a starting point for communication and learning. It takes a long time to evaluate an educational intervention, but this new school suggests what can be achieved when design plays a major role in re-thinking an educational environment.
