Tree House - Classroom Concept - Clip On

Taalman and Koch have proposed 2 competition entries to address adaptable classrooms. below is an example of their proposal. I want to embrace the design philosophy explored within their classroom designs, and tailor it to suit New Zealand construction/assembly principles and technology. It can be argued that these classroom designs have placed too much emphasis on construction feasibility, speed and flexibility, at the expensive of student comfort and sense of place. The strong links between outdoor and indoor learning environments is a particularly strong aspect to the Tree House concept.

Taalman Koch Architecture - The iT House

Similar to the Cellophane and Loblolly Houses by Kieran and Timberlake, Taalman and Koch have created a houses concept which uses an interlocking structural, prefabricated fixtures and individualised panels. Great precedent for me in terms of detailing and philosophy.
