Abstract This paper presents an analysis procedure to improve school design. The procedure uses design parameters, precedent examples and comparisons for a Brazilian context. A literature review on methods and tools to analyse and evaluate architectural school design projects was undertaken. Three methods were singled out to structure the procedure. Design parameters were selected specifically for the Foundation for Educational Development (Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Educação - FDE). The FDE manages over 5,000 public (non-private) school buildings in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The literature on school architecture supplied the precedent examples. The procedure contains a structured design analysis method based on design parameters and comparisons between precedents and local design solutions. Tests on 34 design proposals brought to light important parameters for school design and decision-making was more transparent and efficient. The procedure broadens reflections on multidisciplinary aspects of the contemporary school environment and is seen as a design process tool for various contexts to inspire school architecture with users and learning in mind.

The Way

At times when Serbia is planning to invest in improving the quality of learning environments up to a hundred million Euros through School Modernization Project 2010-2014, describing some of the trends in school buildings design in Western countries is regarded to be crucial. Schools are places where young members of our society are educated. School building design can have a direct influence on the way we assimilate, learn and integrate with other people, and can also affect the way we, as a society, integrate sustainability into our lives. A building is able to teach and convey new ways of materializing sustainable principles. Nowadays many experts claim that ?sustainable school is the most appropriate strategy for renovating educational processes and achieving quality education' [1]. Therefore, this paper deals with some of the aspects of school development in relation to environmental sustainability principles. Each aspect is supported by an example of a contemporary school that included one or more of those principles. Towards the end some of the benefits of approaching schools with environmental sustainability in mind are presented. It is hoped that the results of this article will act as an invitation and stimuli for architects and planners, especially in Serbia, to reconsider their previous practice and start observing school design through the prism of sustainable development.

Participative Approaches

<p class="p0">The school environment is a powerful tool to stimulate and enhance creativity, concentration, motivation, and understanding for students. Darussalam School, Panongan has a GSM program which is Fun School Movement. This GSM program encourages students to create a friendly, safe and comfortable school ecosystem. With a total of about 700 students ranging from PAUD to SMK (Vocation Senior High School), this school has the potential to produce students who have sensitivity and responsibility for their environment. Community Service Activities (PkM) is directed to design a Darussalam School-Build environment that is able to create sustainable schools based on the GSM program. In the process, it is hoped that the design is not just the result of the thaught of the architech but also is the result of the formulation of the needs and desires of the user be it teachers, students, parents, and other stakeholders through a participatory design approach that emphasizes community joint planning, with the aim of increasing ties high and sustainable social and participation. Through the implementation of Darussalam school design, it is expected to produce a school environment that is able to stimulate the students to be sensitive to envoronmental problems. Academically, this participatory design process is a good learning process because the approach is different from the conventional architectural design process, so the resulting design products can be relevant to the needs and desires of school users. Although this design has not yet been fully developed, this participatory process encourages teachers and students to be more sensitive in caring for their environment through collaboration spirit.</p><p class="p0"><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak</strong>: Lingkungan sekolah merupakan alat yang ampuh untuk menstimulasi dan meningkatkan kreativitas, konsentrasi, motivasi, dan pengertian bagi para siswanya. Sekolah Darussalam, Panongan memiliki program GSM yakni Gerakan Sekolah Menyenangkan. Program GSM ini mendorong agar siswa dapat mewujudkan ekosistem sekolah yang ramah, aman, dan nyaman. Dengan jumlah peserta didik sekitar 700 siswa mulai dari PAUD sampai dengan SMK, sekolah ini berpotensi mencetak siswa yang memiliki kepekaan dan tanggung jawab terhadap lingkungannya. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini diarahkan untuk merancang lingkungan binaan sekolah Darussalam yang mampu mewujudkan sekolah berkelanjutan berlandaskan program GSM. Dalam prosesnya, diharapkan desain bukan semata sekedar hasil olah pikir dari arsitek namun juga merupakan hasil formulasi dari kebutuhan dan keinginan pengguna baik itu guru, siswa, orang tua, dan stakeholder lainnya melalui pendekatan desain partisipatif yang menekankan perencanaan bersama komunitas, dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan ikatan sosial dan partisipasi yang tinggi dan berkelanjutan. Melalui pelaksanaan perancangan sekolah Darussalam ini, diharapkan dapat menghasilkan lingkungan sekolah yang mampu menstimulus siswanya untuk peka terhadap permasalahan lingkungan. Secara akademik, proses desain partisipatif ini menjadi sebuah pembelajaran yang baik dikarenakan pendekatannya yang berbeda dari proses desain arsitektur yang konvensional, sehingga produk desain yang dihasilkan dapat relevan dengan kebutuhan dan keinginan pengguna sekolah. Meskipun desain ini belum sepenuhnya terbangun, namun proses yang dilalui secara partisipatif ini mendorong guru dan siswa untuk lebih peka merawat lingkungannya melalui semangat kolaborasi.</p><div id="gtx-trans" style="position: absolute; left: 257px; top: 333.286px;"> </div>

This paper reports on the primary school design processes carried out around the 1940s in the County of Hertfordshire in Great Britain, which later evolved into innovative strategies developed by Mary and David Medd in the Ministry of Education from the late 1950s. The whole process, undertaken during more than three decades, reveals a way of breaking with the traditional spatial conception of a school. The survey of the period covered has allowed an in-depth understanding of how learning spaces could be transformed by challenging the conventional school model of closed rooms, suggesting a new way of understanding learning spaces as a group of Centres rather than classrooms. Historians have thoroughly shown the ample scope of this process, which involved many professionals, fostering a true cross-disciplinary endeavour where the curriculum and the learning spaces were developed in close collaboration. A selection of schools built in the county has been used to typologically analyse how architectural changes began to arise and later flourished at the Ministry of Education. The Medds had indeed a significant role through the development of a design process known as the Built-in variety and the Planning Ingredients. A couple of examples will clarify some of these strategies, revealing how the design of educational space could successfully respond to an active way of learning.

The dynamical analysis of a rotating thin-walled composite shaft with internal damping is carried out analytically. The equations of motion are derived using the thin-walled composite beam theory and the principle of virtual work. The internal damping of shafts is introduced by adopting the multiscale damping analysis method. Galerkin’s method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. Numerical study shows the effect of design parameters on the natural frequencies, critical rotating speeds, and instability thresholds of shafts.

Existing frameworks for biophilic design have similar strategies and attributes as useful checklists for designers; however, the focus has been on adults rather than children, and there remains the need for more guidance related to school design by extension. The application of biophilia would be a design resolution in schools because of its impact on children’s health and well-being, which has been more important since the pandemic started; however, it remains quite unexplored in school design in many countries, including the UK. Biophilic design patterns can be used in school buildings and grounds for greater connectivity between spaces and nature in order to promote children’s well-being. This paper focuses on ten biophilic design patterns under two categories of ‘nature in the space’ and ‘natural analogues.’ This study presents the findings of case studies in various countries. The analysis focuses on the manifestations of biophilia to inform the application of biophilic design patterns for primary schools. Finally, this paper suggests how primary school children could be involved in a co-design process in order to evaluate biophilic design patterns.

Introduction. In the last decade, it has become evident that the school is not ready to provide the material and technical capabilities for the modern educational process. The school design strategy is changing, but these innovations are hardly reflected in the research of hygienists. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the hygienic requirements for modern architectural and planning solutions of school buildings. Materials and methods. Expert-analytical research was carried out. The object of the study: documents regulating the sanitary and epidemiological wellbeing of the population, the development of school education infrastructure, documents and publications that reveal the prospects for designing schools. Results. Most functioning school buildings do not meet the requirements for modern school infrastructure. Fewer and fewer students report that they “really like school”, which negatively affects their academic performance and psychological wellbeing. The need for fundamental changes in the construction of school buildings is recorded in the National Educational Initiative “Our New School” (2010). The design decisions of school buildings should take into account the experience of quarantine measures that had to be faced in the context of the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Hygienic requirements for modern architectural and planning solutions for school buildings are: taking into account climatic and geographical conditions; ensuring the psychological wellbeing of children, primarily due to the optimal number of classes and placement of educational premises for different age groups on separate floors, in blocks, buildings; convenient functional connections with the site; the possibility of transforming beliefs, protection from the effects of physical factors and the penetration of pollution from the environment, safe use of digital learning tools, optimal lighting and air-heat regime; sufficient area of educational premises for one student; optimal conditions for physical activity and physical education, regular healthy nutrition, meeting the needs of students in primary health care. Conclusion. Hygienic requirements for the spatial characteristics of school buildings should take into account the new risks to children’s health.

Our research focuses on school buildings constructed in the first decade of Roma Capitale, between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of twentieth century. The buildings belonged to two categories: 1) edifices readapted as schools (former convents and private dwellings); 2) newly built constructions. School buildings are studied considering their architectural layout, their location within the urban plan, their décor and their symbolic meaning in relation to topography and toponymy. The study method uses interpretation of spaces and places as educational objects that exert an extraordinary influence on the collective imagination. The sources used are: 1) archive documents (Archivio Capitolino) relating to projects and technical relations of architects and engineers; 2) legal documents: laws, measurements, bulletins, ministerial reports on school buildings; 3) publications that document the shaping of public opinion on the importance of endowing the capital with a number of representative and efficient educational sites. The work highlights three main historical trends: 1) the emergenc of laws supporting compulsory education (Casati law, Coppino law) and the social architectural initiatives undertaken in Rome’s poorest and most deprived neighborhoods (Trastevere, Suburra) or in newly built ones for the ascending middle class (Castro Pretorio); 2) the contradiction between rhetoric regarding public educational sites and the scarcity of financial backing for the management of municipal public education  and the subsequent, perennial lack of new schooling sites; 3) competition with contemporary religious school architecture, which in comparison with that of public and secular schools was always at the vanguard.
