ECO SCHOOL DESIGN Studies show that sustainable learning environments can be a big advantage for students, improving their well-being, happiness and even their cognitive processes. But how can parents ensure that their children’s classrooms are as green as they can be. Themes do emerge: good daylight and indoor air quality predominate; a link between indoors and out is strongly asserted; and the use of benign materials is paramount. But this is no more than what good school design has always aimed for. Sustainable School Architecture is a guide to the planning, architecture, and design of schools that are healthy, stimulating, and will conserve energy and resources.

8. • The school itself shows the way by being environmentally conscious and
including sustainable green practices in its everyday life.
• The school is situated in a beautiful fruit orchard and designed in harmony with
its surroundings producing an atmosphere that inspires learning and
insightfulness.
• students are ambassadors to introduce green living into the lives of their
communities
• The whole school is built from earth and bamboo that has been treated to both
withstand and complement the elements.
• Organic vegetables and rice are grown on the school property. Waste water is
treated and biogas produced.
• This is an environmentally-friendly school with an insignificant carbon footprint.

46. GREEN SCHOOL,BALI

50. • American Cynthia and her partner, Canadian designer John Hardy, have lived on
Bali for over thirty years. In 2007, after selling their renowned jewelry company,
they formed a school as an alternative to the walled-in international schools
around Bali.
• In 2007, they built the first campus structure, the Kul-Kul Bridge that spans 22
meters across the Ayung River. The organic convex and concave curves are
partially ornamental, however they follow the natural tendencies of bamboo to
bend and twist.
• The simplicity of construction enables even the layman to understand how the
pieces join together. Thus, a stroll around campus is an interactive lesson in
building.
• Visiting the Green School is to enter an entire aesthetic universe, where the
architecture is as important as the most minuscule of details.
• Bamboo signage leads the way around to each class area that consists of a
bamboo pavilion with Alang Alang grass roof, bamboo desks and chairs and
compost toilets. Students learn music upon bamboo harps and play sports within
bamboo fences.

52. LIVING LABORATORY
• the students learn about river ecology, grow rice and even build their own bamboo
structures.
• There is a breeding program on campus for an endangered bird species, the Bali
Rothschild Starling.
• While learning without walls would seem to cause disciplinary problems, Cynthia
classifies the school as "ADDfriendly".
• Dyslexic children who arrive at Green School are, within a week, focused and
comfortable within "the chaos of nature".
• In many ways, the growth of the Green School resonates more along a vernacular
tradition than the formal architectural canon.

53. The Green School is built upon steep terrains, so the architecture is a part of, not apart from the
context

55. • With the mission to create "global citizens", the Green School makes an
architecture that symbolises the philosophy and pedagogy.
• The most elaborate structure is the impressive "Heart of the School", with three
interweaving cones that resemble double helixes.
• Three spiral staircases link the floors that house the administration, computer lab,
arts spaces and the library.
• Built from Petung, the most massive bamboo variety, the complex is 60 meters
long and soars 19 meters into the sky. Every prominent visitor, such as Nobel
Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, passes under the alangalang vaults.
• This pantheon of bamboo imparts the seriousness of the school's agenda.

58. Bamboo bridges that connect the two areas of the campus. The Green School consists of
some fifty structures and pavilions that have, for the most part, no external walls

72. School of art design and media singapore

73. • School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
• This five-storey facility sweeps a wooded corner of the campus with an organic,
vegetated form that blends landscape and structure, nature and high-tech and
symbolizes the creativity it houses.

76. • The glass façade provides a high-performance building envelope that reduces solar
gain and heat load while allowing the benefits of natural views and daylight into
creative spaces.
• Glass walls provide a visual exchange between indoors and out allowing students
and teachers to experience the building, the surrounding landscape and the interior
plaza as fluid spaces.
• Diffused natural daylight is abundant throughout studios and classrooms, filtered
through the surrounding foliage.

77. • Curving green roofs distinguish the building from among the other structures on
campus, but the line between landscape and building is blurred.
• The roofs serve as informal gathering spaces, challenging linear ideas and stirring
perception.
• The roofs create open space, insulate the building, cool the surrounding air, and
harvest rainwater for landscaping irrigation.
• Planted grasses mix with native greenery to colonize the building and bond it to the
setting.
• Finishes are intentionally raw to act as a backdrop for the art, media, and design
projects.
• Concrete walls and columns, cement-sand screeded floors, timber railings, and a
neutral palette define the interior spaces, which vary in shape and size.
• This amazing design seems to offer a new experience at every elevation or
perspective, fulfilling the intent that a school for art should inspire creativity.
