Timber Architecture & Circular Design
School for hearing-impaired students
"As teaching methods and educational technologies change over time, there is a need to continuously adapt a school's physical spaces. That is the starting point for this design for a school for students with impaired hearing, which is based on the Design for Disassembly principle.
"The project utilises highly visible, easily replaceable elements in the building to make it adaptable to changing times and users. The predominant material is cross-laminated timber. The project is based on a collaborative effort with the municipality of Hässleholm, which endeavours to reduce its carbon footprint whenever it develops its urban areas."
