This project, completed in a group of five, was submitted as part of the weeklong Robin Boyd Studio in February 2014. Designed for a site in Melbourne’s Docklands, this high density urban primary school envisions a kind of urbanity in miniature, an environment in which children can acquire the particular skills required of a citydweller. In line with contemporary pedagogical theory, the Learning Village eschews the traditional classroom in favour of a ‘neighbourhood’ model, with a variety
of spaces tailored to accomodate the needs of a diverse student population.
