The courtyard-school concept guides the project, treating the space itself as a third educator and play as an essential pillar of the architecture. In this design, the building acts as an acoustic barrier against urban noise, turning primarily inward to create a welcoming and safe environment. The Central Courtyard emerges as the heart of the project and the main gathering space, organizing the ground-floor classrooms to foster interaction among different age groups.
