Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
This thesis explores the design of a school aimed at reconnecting students with nature, situated in the naturally rich and growing region of Norrtälje, Sweden. Recognizing the disconnect many urban dwellers feel from nature and its negative impact on well-being, the project proposes a school environment deeply integrated with its natural surroundings. The site, located in the Björnö area, offers expansive views and access to both forested and waterfront environments, enhancing the educational experience through incorporation of biophilic design.The school consists of three buildings, each tailored to maximize engagement with nature. The first building, embedded into a hill, features classrooms with prime views of Norrtälje bay and direct outdoor access, fostering a learning environment where nature is a constant presence. The second building, nestled among pine trees, houses shared facilities like a cafeteria and library, designed to prioritize spaciousness and views of the forest. The third building supports physical activities with changing rooms adjacent to sports fields, promoting outdoor physical education.Overall, this design not only aims to enhance academic performance through nature integration but also to improve mental and physical health, making a compelling case for biophilic design in educational architecture.
