SHADOW TREE MIDDLE SCHOOL Copenhagen, Denmark
The intent of this project was to develop a new style of learning for ages 5-12. Throughout the design process we examined existing school systems, futuristic schools, ted talks on the idea of education, and the project site in Copenhagen, Denmark. We worked towards developing architectural spaces throughout a new school design to encourage our new learning styles of education.

Millions of children reach young adulthood without even the most basic skills and I believe that education and society play major roles in these stats. Children are the future. Therefore it is our duty, as stated by Sir Ken Robinson, “to educate children’s whole being”. I believe this can be done through hands-on experiences, fun learning environments/ spaces, active promotion of a healthy planet, self learning opportunities, and with endless opportunities of creative discovery.
EDUCATION TODAY Education today has become very generic and systematic. Across the globe students are being taught to focus on the same main subjects, which may produce some roadblocks for developmental growth in certain areas of life. Therefore, it is our duty as young architectural associates and the public to implement necessary improvements into the education environments to help guide the students of today towards success in school and the real world as adults.

I believe these changes happen by Inspiring the students/ children, instilling Confidence in them, promoting better Health early on in life, and through Self-Learning using Nature.
Collaborative Spaces
Intergenerational learning opportunities. Created a green roof hill for active use by the students and the community. It can be a place for picnics or even watching soccer games at the adjacent fields. COTE 4: Design for Water Sloped roofs toward atrium for rainwater capture and reuse. Created Glass and metal framed openings throughout the atrium to collect rainwater, treat it, and filter back into the building as gray water. COTE 6: Design for Energy Solar gain from thermal glazing, to be redistributed in other portions of the building. Natural lite rooms throughout each space in the building. COTE 7: Design for Wellness

Individual Needs Transparency Radicalize
Flexible Spaces/Classrooms Multipurpose Spaces
Increased indoor air quality as well as the experience of way finding through the school by creating a green atrium. It includes indoor gardening, green walls, and proper daylighting. COTE 10: Design for Discovery Created intricate nodes throughout the atrium on both levels that allow the occupants to have interactions with the senses.
CLIMATE ANALYSIS
CONCEPT DESIGN STRATEGIES:
Through conceptual design I worked towards more research of the site in Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as more options and ways to successfully connect the students to nature. Implementation was made with natural inspired environmental strategies throughout the school and the curriculum with the five senses.
NATURAL ELEMENTS: Merge between natrual and built environment

The building form was inspired by nature. The original egress was decided from a combination of a natural water element approximately 1 mile north east of the site (as shown below), and linear building arrangements for passive heating and cooling.

PAVILION OF HUMANITY: RESILIENCY Copenhagen, Denmark @ Fælledparken
The design of this pavilion was produced while the world was facing a global pandemic... Some think this is the end, but I’d like to think differently. Past catastrophic events such as disasters or plagues have unfortunately taken loved ones from us, but the human race continues to thrive. This is in regards to other species who face extinction or have already become extinct. Due to these factors I believe that this pandemic, although prolonged, is a phase of life that we all are going through, but this too shall pass. The human race happens to be very resilient, even in the worst of times, they always find their way back. To overcome these types of situations we encounter/need psychological, physical, community, and/or emotional resilience. Take some time and journey through these spaces showcasing stories from around the world. Each one offers a workshop at the end and concludes with a central reflection. Enjoy one of the greatest achievements of humanity, resiliency.
PHYSICAL RESILIENCE: Is the body’s ability to adapt to challenges, maintain strength, and recover quickly and efficiently. It has to do with the ability to recover from illness, accidents, and other physical demands. The choice of a healthy lifestyle, the connection, the rest time, the ability to enjoy activities and hobbies play an important role here.01
Persevere Never Give Up
THRIVING EXAMPLE:
Tina Aswani Omprakash has battled Crohn’s disease, having had more than 20 surgeries, hundreds of procedures, and 4 near-death experiences for over 13 years and is using her platform to bring awareness to an invisible illness. She maintains a blog called Own Your Crohn’s, in which she shares her experiences and others’ stories to empower patients to live their best lives possible. Her aim is to normalize the rhetoric around chronic illnesses and disabilities in order to help patients own their ailments and live fuller, happier lives. 04
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE: Refers to the mental capacity to endure and adapt to uncertainty,
challenges, and adversity. It is known as mental strength and has to do with the strategies that some people apply to stay calm and focused during times of crisis and to move forward without negative consequences in the long term.01
THRIVING EXAMPLE: Get Better Soon PAVILION APPLICATION:
You Can Do It
Digital wall panels with success stories about people who have suffered from their physical abilities and persevered.
COMMUNICATION METHODOLOGY: Visual; through text and imagery
J.K. Rowling The author was divorced, on government aid, and struggling to feed her family just three years before she sold the first Harry Potter book. The manuscript was rejected dozens of times before publisher Bloomsbury bought it. Now Rowling and her books are a global phenomenon. 03
Love Death Equality Hope Unity
EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE: Is the ability of some people to understand their feelings and stay realistic, optimistic, even when they are going through a crisis or turbulent times. They are proactive in using their internal and external resources and can manage stress and emotions in a healthy way. 01
THRIVING EXAMPLE:
Jennifer Hudson The singer’s mother, brother, and nephew were murdered by her sister’s estranged ex-husband. In the wake of the tragedy, Hudson worked through her pain by creating the Julian D. King Gift Foundation. Named after her late nephew, the charity provides support and positive experiences to help children from all backgrounds grow into productive and happy adults. 03
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE:
Refers to the ability of a community, society or group of people to respond and recover from adverse situations such as natural disasters, attacks, economic problems, and other challenges that they may face together. 01
THRIVING EXAMPLE: PAVILION APPLICATION:
A united front of people coming together and demanding change. These protests may have been triggered by emotions of loss, fear, anger, etc. This is one of the reasons I chose Copenhagen as the site location, because the government stands united with the community. Which demonstrates the possibilities for other countries.
COMMUNICATION METHODOLOGY:
Visual; through text and imagery Audio; through individually censored recordings
Hurricane Katrina, which hit New Orleans, Louisiana, in August of 2005, was a Category 5 hurricane that only worsened when the city’s levees failed. About 80 percent of the city—mostly neighborhoods more than tourist areas and the business district—was suddenly underwater. Katrina, which caused approximately 1,200 deaths, is frequently thought of as one of the worst storms in U.S. history. It’s also earned the reputation of being the most costly storm on record, with an estimated $108 billion in property damage. Adding to the devastation was the fact that Katrina displaced more than 1 million people in the Gulf Coast region. 05
Due to previous problems groups/organizations ban together to create preventative methods and/or more resilient features into design so that when disaster strikes, the outcome is less destructive and recovery efforts are more prompt.

REFLECTION CORE:
Traveling through these spaces/ installations could expose deep feeling and thoughts. This Core was created to bring the viewers into a peaceful interior node and encourage them to relax, reflect, and take action if they chose, via the exit of each installation. The space is defined with light, water, and glass. Standing directly in the center shows the oculus above that allows natural sunlight to penetrate throughout the room and the reflective two-way mirror glass walls.
