Project idea

Outdoor classroom structures in Prague Dejvice based on the principle of a shelter creating an elementary canopy, combining a subtle steel construction with a transparent polycarbonate cladding to mediate the relationship between interior and exterior.

Project description

The design of the outdoor classrooms derives from the principle of a shelter as an elementary canopy that defines the space below. The structure uses a steel construction combined with transparent ETFE foil cladding, creating a dynamic interplay of linear elements that evoke an organic branching form. The 300mm deep foundation allows the structure to stand without a fixed thermal barrier while supporting pedestrian and wheelchair access. The overall form features four programmatic zones: outdoor classrooms, an information tunnel, rest areas, and a bookcase. The transparent panels and ETFE foil create a translucent effect, allowing natural light while providing shelter, and the structure responds to changing weather conditions throughout the day.

Technical information

Foundation depth of 300mm in reinforced concrete. Steel construction with transparent ETFE foil cladding providing UV protection and climate resistance. Surface treatment of the steel structure uses galvanized coating with a polymer paint layer ensuring weather resistance. Floor is made of polished light concrete with a fine structure. Plans at 1:100 scale including floor plan, northwest elevation, and section. Structural grid uses 200x200mm steel profiles with 100x100mm secondary elements.
