International Design Competition
The conceptual design was prepared for the international architectural competition, Innovative Bioclimatic European School complex in Crete, Greece – SEEH (School of European Education in Heraklion). As part of the project, a kindergarten, a primary school and a secondary school were designed in a suburban context.
The essential design principle for the buildings was the ideal placement, orientation and ventilation. The buildings were formed to provide optimal view out and self-shading. As part of the water management strategy wetlands, a biological wastewater treatment system and wastewater collection tanks were proposed.
