Description

Copenhagen municipality have hired Autens for the purpose to update their educational function program for educational facilities. The municipality makes a comprehensive investment program in new building and redevelopment of schools – for example the new Arenakvarterets School. Therefore, some years ago, they developed a common functional program, which is the basis for the programming of each school. It is the functional program that has been thrown here, so that it seriously considers the future of learning and school forms and rethinks the school for a new millennium. Specifically, the work is based on the development of a new school building, the Arenakvarterets Skole in Ørestaden, which the municipality wants to make a clear start in the 21st century school thinking as well as sustainable thinking (DGNB Gold Standard).
