PIXELS - A PEDAGOGICAL NEIGHBORHOOD
Pixels - the new school, is conceived as an assemblage of spaces under one roof. A roof that unifies and shapes the program and gives a strong identity to the building. Its compactness, verticality and transparency will allow it to be a mark in the city in a new and simple setup. The pedagogical process starts inside of a classroom, extends to a courtyard and then to a main educational square. This process is part of a whole educational block that offers differ- ent “lessons” and activities that extend even out of the boarders of the building. That is the school that we want.

In many ways the new school is a collection of spaces and programmatic forms. The proposed building is not just a school but an educational neighborhood. We envision to built a series of spaces that can be used for the many pur- poses of the school and also in a way become a pedagogic instrument for the coming generations of pupils - a modular of unique spaces - in a new and simple setup.
Based on the “lively and diverse urban structure” of the existing masteplan for Smichov City, the school will act as a pavillion to the whole development. Thus, it’s not apathetical towards the city and illustrates an micro-environ- ment that acts socially educational.
The Juxtaposition of Spaces - Urban Creative Setting
The new school will work as the juxtaposition of flexible and different spaces with different spatial qualities. They are organically developed in a joint environment creating a “neighborhood” centrally in the area in direct relationship with the surrounding spaces, a relationship that is extended also with infrastructure in the area. We propose to establish an atrium building in an extrovert sense that uses the interior actively with entrances and access facades for all the users facing the central space. A space which promotes communication and can prosper from the benefits of the school environment into unique and vibrant urban living room. This central core is surrounded by smaller cortyyards supporting the central functionality which will be the heart of interactions. Without sterotyp- ing the excisting schools we propose an alternative perseption that relates to an creative urban setting that acts inside (the school)-out (the city).
