The function of the project is not a normal school to be created but it’s a step forward the future of education in Armenia, and the relation between the function and the site within it’s context and the arteries of the green rivers which connect both eastern and western banks of the site.
Children always considered the hope in every community and the green paths is the only way to take the hand of this plot of desert and bring life to it, looking to the northern part of the site and how an artery bring the green to a desert zone which is totally changed during time
, by respecting the contour lines of the site and how we can use this levels to expose the function of the educational spaces to a green artery with some outdoor spaces connected with the internal space to create an experience circulation during their studies. And the best plot to insert the event center is to expose it to the most important landmarks in the entire context (Ararat and Aragat mountains), Also creating outdoor steps (Amphitheater) for external festivals which give a new meaning of a school and the educational methodology in Armenia, and that was the aim of COAF when they started this innovative system.
