Background: The Zhengze School is located in an area of the old city in Beijing. The best primary schools in Beijing are typically located in that area. The schools benefit from a prolonged advantage in terms of various social resources. The best teaching staff have always been closely associated with these prestigious institutions, and exceptionally talented students tend to gravitate towards them. Challenge: However, the high urban density of Beijing's old city, coupled with restrictions imposed by urban planning regarding volume limitations make the location challenging. In these circumstances, the renovation of old buildings in the old city cannot usually an increase in the building area or alter the building's external shape. For these reasons, the development of the school, which was transformed from an abandoned paper mill into a school, needed to maximize every inch of the building area. Solution: The previously space has been repurposed into a sports hall, lecture hall and science labs. A small square where lectures and Peking opera dance rehearsals can be performed. The space above the reservoir for firefighting is utilized as a space for practicing symphony music, and the rooftop space has been converted into areas for physical classes. Teaching materials are stored and displayed in various public spaces, which allows children to easily access a variety of learning materials.
北京好的中小学通常聚集在城市中心的老城区,最好的师资和更加优秀的学生紧紧伴随着向这些名校聚集。 但问题是北京的老城区城市密度较高,且受限于城市规划的体量限制,老城区的老建筑改造通常不能增加建筑面积,也不能改变建筑的外轮廓线,因此,正泽学校平安里校区,这个将一个废弃的建于民国时期的造纸厂改造成一个学校,需要将每一寸建筑面积发挥到极致,以满足多样的教学要求。 之前的巨大的仓库空间被改造成运动馆和阶梯课室,以及丰富的艺术与科学的教学空间。这些不同的课室也在大空间中围合出可以组织演讲和京剧舞蹈排练的小广场,消防蓄水池的上空也被利用成孩子们练习交响乐的空间,屋顶空间都被利用成体育课的场所。 由于没有足够空间去做图书馆和储藏间,教学道具和各种书籍便在各种公共空间存放与展示着,但却换来孩子们可以更容易地看到各种教学道具以及阅读各种书籍。过去的平房式的厂房被改造成全天光的生物课室,让孩子们在最好的“显色性”的光线下观察和学习生物知识。 尽管在老城区教学面积受到束缚,然而因老建筑与神俱来的历史文脉,给予了学校某种教学空间的“灵气”,去祝福孩子们。这也许是名校大都坐落于老城区的另一种原因吧?!
