building materials had to be
lightweight to reduce horizontal
momentum caused by the weight of
the building during an earthquake.
Their design principle was not
to create only typical classrooms
but learning spaces to enliven the
atmosphere for children who were
victims of the disaster. For the
layout, the architects had proposed
to combine three classrooms into
one building to minimize the land
use. Each classroom is punctuated
by small foyers which will be used
for placing student shoes and to
help reduce the noise between
classrooms.
The land slope has been utilized
with the architecture to create an
extra semi-outdoor multifunctional
space under the building. The
natural materials had been
proposed in selected areas to
illustrate how local materials can
substitute expensive modern
materials and at the same time,
harmonize the architecture with its
context.
