Shortlisted for Danish Design Award 2019

Statement from the jury:

"Visionary concept, not just for Argentina, but for the educational system in general. The project breaks down silos in the education system and rethinks learning layouts."

The series of design manuals give clear guidelines to a transformation of the six typical school layouts – from total rebuilds and tearing down walls to rearrangement of interior and no-budget interventions.

Statement from the jury:

"Great project. The Shell and the special needs education Hub at Glasir forms a very clever solution for a learning environment for students with learning difficulties."

With an embosoming structure and sound absorbing materiality, the Shell provides a protected and functional space tailored for individual learning needs. The soft, felted wool surfaces give a tactile experience as it offers the students a space for undisturbed retreat and concentration.
