PANYADEN SCHOOL By 24H > architecture

In the lush green surroundings of a former fruit orchard, where Thailand’s highest mountains meet the flat rice fields, Panyaden School contracted 24H to design its environmentally friendly school buildings.Located south of the city of Chiang Mai, this 5,000 m2 primary school consists of an informal arrangement of pavilions (salas), organized along pathways inspired by the shape of the tropical antler horn fern.This original design has since evolved organically to its fi nal form which is still in keeping with its original purpose of creating buildings from earth’s elements and shapes that are an ode to nature’s beauty.

There are two main types of buildings:

• The classroom pavilion type has load-bearing walls from rammed earth, dividing the building into 3 classrooms. The outer walls are made of adobe. Glass windows framed by recycled local hardwood, glass bottles and washing machine windows bring natural light into the classrooms.Cupboards and shelves are all integrated in an adobe wall curving around the sanitary block. The curved contours of the bamboo roof structure mirror the mountains at the horizon of the site.

• The sala pavilion type is used for common functions such as the assembly hall and the canteen. Columns consist of bamboo bundles reaching up to the bamboo canopy from their stone foundations, giving a feeling of walking through a majestic bamboo forest.Other salas designed and created by the local team (playground, around the swimming pool, Buddha sala etc) resemble birds or leaves – elements found in nature and in daily Thai life (such as the paper umbrellas made in Chiang Mai).The entire school has been built from local earth and local bamboo that has been naturally treated to withstand the elements. Organic vegetables and rice will be grown on school property. Environmentally friendly waste water treatment and food waste recycling producing organic fertilizers and biogas for cooking, round up the picture of an environmentally friendly school with a negligible carbon footprint.Panyaden is a private bilingual school with a Buddhist approach that will accommodate 375 students including 10- 20 percent of local Thai kids funded by scholarships.

The students will be the ambassadors to introduce green living into the lives of their communities.In addition to the Thai and native English speaking teachers, they will be supervised by experts in various arts, creativity as well as traditional wisdom such as local agricultural methods, specialists in tropical forest plants, cloth weaving and northern cuisine etc.Panyaden School aims to deliver a holistic education that integrates Buddhist principles and green awareness with the highly regarded, International Primary Curriculum.

在泰国最高的山脉有一处山间平地，这里郁郁葱葱，稻肥蛙鸣。24H建筑事务所设计的环保型学校PANYADEN就位于这里。这个面积5000平米的小学在泰国清迈南部，设计布局受到热带植物鹿角蕨的启发，期望以有机形式与地球协调，达到对自然的讴歌。建筑物主要分为两种形式：

1 一般的教室：承重墙是土坯夯实，用本地回收的硬木，玻璃瓶做成窗户，引入自然光。

2 礼堂和食堂：竹楼，方法让人置身于竹的丛林。

其它地方的设计如操场，泳池四周，都从泰国的日常元素中吸取力量。学校建材采用当地的竹子。周围的有机蔬菜和稻田是学校的财产。在学校，实行了环保废水处理和食品垃圾回收利用，将有机肥料生成沼气以做饭。学校非常环保，可谓是零碳消耗。学校属于提倡佛学的私立学校。提供双语教学，共有375名学生，其中10—20%是由奖学金支柱的当地小孩。学校就像是社区中的绿色生活大使，让环保的概念引入人心，这里除了泰语和英语老师，还有各种专业老师：艺术，创意，当地农业，热带森林植物，织布，美食。这是一个国际性的，注重对人全面发展，并将佛学和环保意识整合在教育中的学校。
