Objectives of the project

A. Increasing the benefits of education

Adaptation of the educational offer to:

• The current economic context
• Promoting culture by improving personal skills
• Promoting innovation, performance
• Participatory management

School in support of society

• Ensuring the quality of all school processes
• The cultural identity of the school
• School as a community coagulant
• Development of creative activities
• Equal opportunities
• Emotional security

School in the service of the child

• Finding a place in society
• Functional literacy – access to information
• Establishing value and cultural landmarks, ethical principles
• Ensuring personal development, initiation
• Ensuring physical development

School and family connection

• Fundamental role in education – family – community
• Extra curricular activities in support of the family
• Parent’s cooperation with the school
• Efficient and inclusive atmosphere
• Active learning – role play, research school projects

B. School – Model building – anthropological role in shaping the child’s personality

The main factor of development is the quality of the space

Well-being – satisfaction, joy, children’s pleasure

Spatial conformation:

• Expressing the qualities of an educational act
• Symmetry/ axis: increase direction, force
• Rhythm/ mode: increase order, logic
• Modulation:  increase scalar readability
• Central space/ atrium:  increase co gathering, globality
• Old/ new relationship: intergenerational relationship

C. Increasing the role of the school in the territory

• School in the territory – spatial determinations of the educational process.
• Integrated roles – intergenerational complex
• Life learning – social attractor
• Daytime attraction, community center, meeting place
• Strategic center in risk management
• Social engine, social empowerment
• Didactic example for sustainability

Concept

The project aims to create:

1. A space focused on the needs of the student in order to enhance a high-performing and friendly educational environment.
2. Spatial relationship through transparency by generating direct visual relationships between functions as well as between them and the natural environment.
3. Easy orientation inside the school – way finding.
4. School accessibility and connections – 3 accesses: car, bicycle and pedestrian – Constanța street, Argeș street and Nicolae Bălcescu street
5. Readability of the functional organization.
6. Innovative character – by integrating contemporary technical solutions (service automation, spatial digitization – smart building).
7. Community interconnectivity:
   • the idea of ​​the transparent border – green / shade
   • friendly waiting space: – parents – children
   • optimistic space – chromatic – bright
8. Sustainable character regarding energy consumption.
9. Investment efficiency through openness to the community.
10. Centripetal organization – focus on courtyards – covered courtyards (atrium)/open courtyards.
11. Modular discipline – alignment rhythm and full-empty volumetric scale.
12. Compositional symmetry – order and force.
13. Heritage integration – existing space – proposed space.
14. Fluidity – the space flowing inside – outside, transparent.
15. Flexibility, comfortable space.
16. Space of joy and play.

Integration into the urban fabric

– Highlighting the role of catalyst of the area by proposing an interstitial space with transparency in the depth of the lot in contrast to the existing opaque and massive building;

– Ensuring a functional space continuity through the strong configuration of the central axis;

– Enhancement of the protected building following the consolidation, restoration, refurbishment and treatment of infiltrations.

Energetic efficiency

In defining the proposed technical solutions, it was considered to increase the energy efficiency of the existing building A regarding the increase of thermal comfort by:

1. Covering the 3 courtyards of light with a floating floor consisting of a three-dimensional metal structure consisting of triangular beams, closed rectangles on one side with photovoltaic panels and double-glazed glass with Low-e coating on the rectangular face. The floating slab is detached from the boundaries of the yard allowing their ventilation.
2. Classroom ventilation through recovery air recycling system.
3. Heating system with heat pumps.
4. The choice of natural lighting solutions is the predominant option – NE-SW orientation for classes, laboratories and more for zenithal skylights.
5. Energy modeling to check if the spring energy consumption is <69 kwh / sqm / cm.
6.  heating and air conditioning installations:
   • Underfloor heating installations for general spaces / classrooms / laboratories etc
   • Heating installations with radiators in bathrooms, hallways, annex / technical spaces and basement
   • General air conditioning installations / 100% fresh air supply with CTAs with plate heat recovery for the gym, festivities hall and central hall
   • Local air conditioning systems / 100% fresh air supply with cross-ceiling ceiling heat recuperators for classrooms
   • Thermal / refrigeration source of the building consisting of reversible ground / water heat pumps operating in both thermal and refrigeration
   • Cold water supply installations from the street network
   • Hot water preparation installations by means of hot water accumulators and a system of high efficiency solar panels (heat pipe), with recirculation.
   • Fire extinguishers with internal hydrants (pumping group and water supply)
   • Indoor / outdoor sewerage systems in dividing system, (for easy management of water consumption described below).

The project will aim to:

• To reduce the consumption of hot water, it will be recirculated to the last consumer.
• A management of water consumption will be implemented, by using roof rainwater and treated water for watering green spaces, technological washing

Electrical installation

Thus, a part of the energy needed by consumers, approximately 75%, will be covered by the energy produced by the installation with photovoltaic panels.

When the own consumption is higher than the produced energy, the difference will be taken from the electric supply network of the building, and when the consumption is lower, the difference of produced energy will be distributed in the electric network, for other consumers.
