Examples of reference object analyses based on the complex of Akademeia High School in Warsaw
| Object | Akademeia High School |
| Location | Polska, Warszawa |
| Designer | Medusa Group |
| Implementation | 2017 |
| Area | 4 198 m2 |
| Description | A horseshoe-shaped building with a green courtyard and a large outdoor stand. The layout of the rooms allows for individual educational strategies and the learning process resembles that at universities. “Most of the classes are conducted according to the American Herakness method, whereby students do not sit in desks, but work together with the educator at an oval table”. – words of deputy headmaster of the school Marcin Szala. Pupils work in an oval table system, teachers have no staff room, and permanently remain part of a compact educational ecosystem. This was the basis for the overall idea of creating a lifestyle atmosphere that encourages people to stay in school after school hours. The space in the middle of the school playground is ordered by a huge grandstand. A universal element, a meeting place to inspire students and teachers for unusual P.E., geography, biology or literature classes. The canteen is more like a restaurant than a traditional school canteen. It is a transfer of the modern living-room into the school. The venue is not only open at lunchtime, but is constantly changing its functions, from canteen to cafeteria with a reading room and live art studio. On the roof, there is a garden used for classes in biology, but also physics, astronomy or geography. During the summer season, beehives can be set up there or herbs can be grown for use in the school canteen. The hallway resembles no school corridors at all, but rather a scaly wooden hollow. The halls traditionally have chairs, but also multifunctional stands. When designing this venue, the architects were looking for ambiguous, multifunctional and inspiring spaces. |
