Erika-Mann Elementary School II - Berlin





This is Berlin's Erika-Mann Grundschule II , a school designed by the kids themselves with Baupiloten (of Baupiloten studio), a group of architecture students. Baupiloten projects allow the architecture students to experience all facets of a real-life project, from design to budgeting, cost control and site supervision. The students also learn to present to clients and to convince them that their solutions are viable and practical. A group of just under 10 architecture students worked on the Erika-Mann Grundschule II project. The kids who are using the space participated actively in the design process, giving the architecture students their views on how they will actually use the space, how it should function and what they’d love to see in their school.
