A futuristic school to be built in Hungary

“Fresh and brave. Incredible. Modern and sophisticated. Home design” – these were some of the comments that BORD Architectural Studio received for their plans of the International School of Debrecen, which is predicted to be inaugurated in 2019. According to forbes.hu, the school will offer an international education system for 500 Hungarian and foreign students.

The school will be located in the Debrecen-Pallag area, near the Nagyerdő (Great Forest) and the Natura2000. The essence of the concept is that the building surrounding the parkland inner yard and the sport fields will blend into the green environment as much as possible. The architects chose a symbolic shape for this aim: the building will form a circle that represents safety, unity and community.

Communal areas, sport fields and educational gardens will be found around the building, and the imagined circle will be completed with passages leading into the woods. The forest edge and the school will be connected symbolically and, furthermore, the wooded region will also be used to demonstrate the natural science curriculum.

“The inner pulsating area will follow the line of the circle towards the forest, thus providing space for educational gardens, which will form a transition between the artificial and natural forest flora and fauna.”
