This project introduces a new pedagogy to the school based on Montessori education, focusing on the individuality of the student and sensorial sensitivity. Operating with an outside-in approach, new topological structures were strategically introduced to the current building. They create new field conditions, taking into consideration light, movement, and accumulation. Overall, the new P.S. 64 should create a ludic and stimulating environment that embodies diversity and praises the complexity of our human neural system.
