Since the middle ages, the classroom typology has closely followed the evolutions of educational method. This progress suddenly came to a halt in the twentieth century while pedagogies continued to evolve. All around the globe, schools look nearly the same, with the same classrooms and corridors.
Through a classroom project we are currently working on, we questioned this link between education and space. The construction of a circular classroom, contrasting with a rectangular room, can be a new approach to educational typology turned towards the collective, with no front nor back row. We believe that architects must engage for the design of new adapted schools.
Taking care of children is a major objective to ensure the creation of a positive and collective project, and to build a wishing future. For us architects, we must imagine a new utopia and think about it sufficiently for this to come true. For the well-being of the children of today and the framework of the world for tomorrow.
