A1201_龍潭小學校舍重建競圖案

Longtan Elementary School is over 100 years old and has a long history. Although the existing school building no longer meets modern standards and needs to be demolished and rebuilt, the Japanese-style wooden dormitories and abundant greenery are undoubtedly the treasures of the campus and should be maintained as much as possible; the advantages of the old school building, which is conducive to energy saving and configuration and management, are also worth continuing.

After on-site investigation and repeated dialectics, we made a bold decision: the school building will be kept in its original configuration, and the school gate will be relocated. The original configuration not only has clear divisions and is conducive to energy saving, but also can preserve the ecology for many years, and at the same time, it also preserves the childhood memories of the alumni.

The school gate was moved to a wider road side. Children can directly see the oldest banyan tree in the school from the deep and wide entrance square, and their safety is also guaranteed. The landmark tower and ecological square at the corner are integrated with the Japanese-style dormitory to form a school history display area. Of course, the old school gate full of stories is still preserved, but it has been retired and turned into a side door.

Contemporary teaching elements: corner learning, digital technology, environmental education, etc., are all invisibly integrated into the old configuration. The scattered balconies, corridors, and activity corners satisfy the children's curiosity and allow them to make different discoveries in their daily lives.
