Abstract

Specialet præsenterer et designforslag til en ny skole i Sundby på Lolland med fokus på både social og miljømæssig bæredygtighed. Projektet tager udgangspunkt i det aktuelle udbud for en ny skole i Sundby og svarer på skolereformen i 2013, som lægger vægt på mere individuel læring og problembaseret undervisning. Spørgsmålet er, hvordan man skaber rammer, der kan rumme forskellige behov for personlig udvikling og læring. Gennem research, studier og feltbesøg er der udviklet et rumbrogram og konkrete designstrategier, der tager højde for skolens mange brugere, herunder elever og lærere. Da Sundby ligger i en kommune med mange socialt udsatte børn, prioriterer projektet trivselsfremmende arkitektur med rum, der opleves som trygge og restituerende. Designet er udviklet via en integreret designproces, hvor arkitektur og teknik koordineres for at sikre et godt indeklima (lys, luft og temperaturkomfort), udnyttelse af naturlige ressourcer og lavt energiforbrug. Ved at gøre disse løsninger synlige og forståelige er målet at øge bevidstheden om bæredygtighed hos elever, lærere og byens borgere, så bygningen i sig selv bliver en lærer. Resultatet er et forslag til en nulenergiskole, der fungerer som et nyt samlingspunkt for Sundby og samtidig opfylder en moderne skoles funktionelle krav.

This thesis presents a design proposal for a new school in Sundby, Lolland, with a focus on social and environmental sustainability. The project is based on the ongoing competition brief for a new school in Sundby and responds to the 2013 Danish school reform, which emphasizes more individualized learning and problem-based teaching. The central question is how to create a place that supports diverse needs for personal development and education. Through research, studies, and field trips, the authors developed a room program and concrete design strategies that consider the building’s many users, including pupils and teachers. Because Sundby is in a municipality with many socially disadvantaged children, the project prioritizes well-being architecture—spaces that feel safe and restorative. The design was developed through an integrated design process that coordinates architecture and engineering to achieve a healthy indoor climate (light, air, and thermal comfort), make use of natural resources, and keep energy use low. By making these solutions visible and easy to understand, the aim is to raise awareness of sustainability among pupils, teachers, and the wider town, so the building becomes a teacher in its own right. The result is a zero-energy school proposal that acts as a new community hub for Sundby while meeting the functional needs of a modern school.
