Usually, when you think of 'school', you think of a red, long building in almost the same shape.
However, it is said that just by changing the school building, the educational effect increases enough to develop creativity and reduce school violence.

It is a school like a village, with buildings like single-family houses with triangular roofs clustered together.
When you go inside, you can see that the height of the classroom is different.
[Hyun-Woo Lee / Architect: (How many meters is this?) It is exactly 3.7m.]
The ceiling was raised 1m higher than in a normal classroom, raising the sense of openness that students would feel.
Dozens of gardens were placed between the school buildings to minimize the bleak image.
The inside of this high school is open all over the place, so you can communicate with anyone just by leaving the classroom.
[Hyun-Woo Lee / Architect: If you come out during breaks, you can communicate face-to-face with the children passing by and the children on this side.]
Even changing the space like this can greatly enhance the educational effect.
In fact, a study found that giving connectivity and openness to the school space could lead to the development of creativity by strengthening students' cortical neurons.
In addition to this, it is said that the effect appears when you compose an unexpected space in the upper grades.
Another study found that improving school space reduced school violence by 10-20%.
[Kim Jin-wook/Professor of Architecture at Seoul National University of Science and Technology: The uniform hallways and ceiling heights and the same classroom size are the cause of various problems today.]
Erase the violence of a uniform space and make the school feel like home It is the beginning of education space innovation to open students' minds on the basis of that stability.
