About the project (provided by the applicant) Concept: integration of art education into general education. The volume of the art classrooms serves as the center of the building, around which the academic classrooms are arranged in a ring. Floors are organized by student age groups: grades 1–4, 5–9, and 10–11.
The school’s architecture is a continuous, unified form, symbolizing the continuity and progression of education. A distinctive feature of the school is the four highlighted art classrooms, which form the core of the educational ring and actively participate in the learning process. Modern materials and non-traditional forms emphasize the relevance of this educational institution. A large arch houses the assembly hall and a multi-story library, giving the architecture a striking and unique character.
