German abstract:
The subject of the competition was the creative approach to the concept of energy-efficient construction based on the passive house standard.

The aim was to design a school that combines classical school elements with modern learning facilities. The school was intended for children from the age of 6 to 15, with a capacity between 200 and 230 students. In addition, the school should set a positive example in terms of ecology and sustainability.

Within the scope of the project, participants were free to design and propose all facilities of modern learning such as experimental laboratories, exhibition and performance rooms, sports hall, library, internet and communications room, etc. These facilities can be designed separately or combined depending on the individual concept. Safety aspects, e.g. fire protection and escape routes, and practical issues such as a canteen and cloakroom should also be taken into consideration.

Learning with all senses requires excellent room acoustics to ensure perfect speech intelligibility. Reverberation time should therefore be around 0.5 seconds.

The outside space of the school should also be designed in an environmentally friendly way, including for example pedagogical elements such as a bio-garden, biotope, playground, etc.

In addition, the social and ecological benefits offered by the school should be further used as an evening school for adults and a cultural meeting point for the neighbourhood.
