As we prepared for the launch of successive schools in Malaysia, we wanted to capture the spirit of the GEMS International School of Pearl City, Penang, as it opened to its first cohort of students.
In designing the school, we aimed to create a space conducive to living in, playing, as well as learning. We had images of comfort, laughter and engagement in mind. We wanted our school to stimulate curiosity and enquiry, encourage search, promote discovery and an uncovering of matters.
We invested ourselves in building a school reflective or our aspirations and ambition:
• Aseamless,integratedlearningenvironment,whereboundariesarefewandporous,modularandmodifiable,aninfrastructureto be appropriated;
• Anenvironmentforlivingandworkingincommunitiesandgroups,caring,helping,conserving;• Spaceforlearningbydoing,practicallyandphysicallyexperiencing;energising,invigorating,challengingspace;• Aplaceforlivingandlearningthatismentally,sociallyandspirituallynurturingandinspiring.
Functionality was central in our thoughts: fitness for our educational purpose was essential, and safety was considered every time.Yetaestheticswereofgreatimportancetoo.Wedidnotsetouttoimpressbutwewerekeentopushboundaries,tosupporttheideathataschooldoesnothavetobeadullspace.Weapproachedmaterials,finishes,andtheoveralllookandfeel with a “boutique hotel” mindset.
