Abstract
This project deals with the task of designing a new public school in the district of Frederiksbjerg, Aarhus. The new school will replace the current school of N.J Fjordsgade which no longer fits the growing number of pupils and changing educational needs. The architectonical expression states firmly that the new design is a place for children. Playful facades, softly curved walls as well as a variety of outdoor activities and greenery make the new school a children friendly area that appeals to a synergy of play, learning and movement. Based on good daylight conditions, comfortable temperatures and healthy ventilation strategies a healthy indoor climate is integrated into the design to ensure effective learning conditions for the children. Not only the pupils and teachers benefit from the new school, so do the residents of the area as well. Some of the functions, such as a skatepark, a canteen/cafe or a sports center, can be used by the residents and guests of Frederiksbjerg,
