Schule als Hybrides System: From Education to Edu'action'

Schule als Hybrides System: From Education to Edu’action’Abstract Hybrid architectural-pedagogical concepts, in which schools are understood as a kind of 'home base', transform school space into a 'hybrid space' that includes different user groups. By overlapping diverse and varied functions, “Schule als Hybrides System“ can accommodate current social developments such as demographic change, diversity and inclusion, migration and technological trends (digitalization, artificial intelligence) and create innovative conditions for dealing with the requirements and effects of such change processes. “Schule als Hybrides System“1 is created in a participatory process and is a suitable basis for education for sustainable development (ESD). It acts as an architecturally multidisciplinary integrator of structures, systems, processes and internal and external actors in the education sector. “Schule als Hybrides System“ promotes integration and inclusion and creates space for new educational experiences and group-dynamic social developments. The results of this project can become the starting point for a new holistic architectural and pedagogical perspective on school and educational buildings. They also offer decisive architectural impulses and supplementary information for school building guidelines and provide innovative ideas for participatory neighborhood planning and urban development at the interface with society.
