Arquitectonica completes revamp of Florida school

The Ransom Everglades School is one South Florida’s oldest and most prestigious private schools. So when the School needed to revamp its physical plant, it called on alumnus, Larurinda Spear, founding principal of Arquitectonica, to develop a multi-phased master plan that would provide the progressive school with a forward thinking design. The final phase of the project, an $8 million, 34,000 square foot multipurpose complex called the community Center which features classrooms, administrative offices and the school’s first gymnasium, is now complete.

The design represents advanced thinking about education and sustainability says Spear. “For example, the interior can be completely illuminated with sunlight so you don’t have to turn on the lights during the day”, said Spear. The new building is the center of administration leadership for grades 6-8 housing all offices and a student activity center. It’s a central meeting place for the school. The gymnasium is ample enough to accommodate the entire school. The facility’s design reflects the schools innovative curriculum and emphasis on “discussion-based learning.” For example, all classrooms have smart boards in addition to the classic Harkness tables, where students learn around rectangular or square tables.

The completion of the new campus center and athletic facility, which includes regulation-sized playing fields, comes on the heels of the opening of the School’s $3 million Braman Family Media Center, also by Arquitectonica, which houses a 4,000 square-foot library and computer research center.

Lord Foster gets the day off

Foster absolved from his Jury duty at World Architecture Festival

There was always a predictability about Lord Foster’s role as heading up the super-jury at the World Festival of Architecture Awards, given that six of his projects were in the running for the top spot. But only one was to knock him out of the jury and into the winners circle, Smithsonian Institution in the USA.

Eight further categories winners were also announced and will go on to the final day where the super-jury minus the super-powers of Lord Foster will be judged based on a strict and extensive set of criteria which include strong ideas on sustainability, aesthetics and architectural language.

The winners of the nine categories presenting today are as follows:

New and Old Robert & Arlene Kogod Courtyard, Smithsonian Institution by Foster + Partners
Office Duoc Corporate Building by Sabbagh Arquitectos
Pleasure Sheep Stable by 70F Production BMW Welt by Coop Himmelb(l)au
