Commissioned by the Netwerkbureau Kinderopvang (childcare) the faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft did research to the possibilities of the transformation of existing school buildings. What are the possibilities of how to use an existing school building in an efficient way? What does this mean for the dimension of the spaces, the positioning relative towards each other, the use of colours, the climate and the outdoor areas?
This book contains the results of the research of twenty prototypical school buildings. The book shows a theoretical substantiation of the possibilities of transform existing school buildings into “buildings for children’. A number of essays about the several design aspects act as background information. A selection of projects, made by students, offers a number of solutions, which in the first place maybe aren’t immediately mend to be realized, but show inspirational results.
