School doesn't have to be an ordinary boring set of boxy buildings, but instead it can provide exciting and positive spatial experiences where children can study and play. The proposed innovative design solution makes it possible to adapt relocatable schools to any location and parameters, and to create optimum conditions for 21st century learning.

The COOLSCHOOL concept proposes a fresh and original approach to creating, re-configuring and re-locating built space. Imagine such architecture as a construction set for future school making. The school construction set consists of modular components, which can be combined in many ways to form unique spatial combinations. The manufacture of these components is computer controlled in the factory permitting optimum efficiency in manufacture, reducing waste and therefore environmental impact. Simple equilateral triangle geometry establishes the pattern logic.

Triangulation introduces new design opportunities and perspectives into a world of orthogonal solutions. High specification material choices and design adaptability ensure a high performance, comfortable, sustainable school environment.

There are four functional component types: Main modules are the base elements of the system, designed to fit into a 6m by 6m grid. They can be used to form classrooms, recreation and common spaces. Combinations of these modules create built space which accommodates individual, small and large group activities. Modules have a light and simple wooden construction with the supporting elements connected at one of the corners. Such a design solution makes it possible to create large interior spaces. Geometry and construction of the interior space provides: improved acoustic qualities and an opportunity to achieve desirable light conditions.

Sub modules are introduced into the pattern to provide core and storage spaces, buffer zones, entrance groups, connection between volumes.

They follow the geometry of the main modules, but smaller in size: 3m by 3m in plan.

System of canopy follows the logic of initial triangulation and forms a secondary overhead pattern. It provides shade, by reflecting direct sun light. Using wind flows between canopy and main build structure it cools the air during hot summer season. The canopy creates a sheltered outdoor space on hot days or during rain.

Poles are placed on 12m/12m grid exactly inside the voids which the modular pattern creates, to support the canopy.

The COOLSCHOOL proposes a new “school house” image: unusual and delightful, but practical and effective, easy to manufacture, construct and transport. The fllexible pattern structure makes this easily adaptable to different sites and climates.
