The School Campus in Moscow is envisioned as a dynamic mini-city where education unfolds within a diverse, human-scaled environment. Designed for 1,325 students, the 23,350 m² complex is organized into distinct yet interconnected blocks: the primary and middle school with a patterned façade of geometric cells; the senior school and sports wing, expressed through transparent volumes and structural details reminiscent of Lego; the kindergarten, with tactile façades, playful terraces, and safe indoor-outdoor play zones; and a public block with a luminous hall and theater framed by translucent and LED panels.
Landscape and architecture merge in a central courtyard designed as a sports park, complemented by a terraced Playhub that extends play and learning outdoors. Greenhouses, rooftop gardens, and open-air workshops connect studies with nature, while running tracks and sports areas weave interior and exterior into a continuous learning environment.
Using contemporary materials such as fiber-concrete, ETFE (light transparent polymer), and media façades, the concept outlines a vibrant, safe, and inspiring campus — a place where children can grow through knowledge, creativity, and play.
