Bounding Voids: A Porous School for the Neighborhood

The flow of school is organized through fluctuations in attraction and repellency––bounding and unbounding. Voids allow changes in intensity and scale. With varying degrees of solidity among the boundary of rooms, each space and program has different levels of flexibility. While some are like weeds, actively interacting with the surrounding, others are rock, tough and everlasting. Around these, a river of activity runs through the school, introducing constantly changing scenes. The architectural flexibility reflects a pedagogy where students, teachers, parents, or citizens fully engage with and control their environment as well as experience and understand the surrounding.
