La gestione della pedagogia in Francia mostra una disfunzionalità che sembra legata ad una tendenza globale, chiamata dagli esperti interessati la “ learning crisis “. Il modello scolastico esistente, i cui pilastri risalgono all’era industriale, non è più adeguato all’evoluzione sociologica della generazione dei bambini che arrivano a scuola in questi anni. Il rapporto con il digitale, con l’altro e con la natura sono temi che sconvolgono le caratteristiche comportamentali dei bambini e le scuole non si adattano, il che implica un invito alla rivoluzione pedagogica, teorizzata dai nostri pedagogisti contemporanei consapevoli dalla situazione. Una riconfigurazione del sistema educativo implica, parallelamente alla teoria, la necessità di sperimentare sul campo. Il nostro punto di vista di ingegneri-architetti rende possibile una sperimentazione concreta di queste ridefinizioni teoriche della pedagogia, pensando all’evoluzione dello spazio in cui si svolge questa rivoluzione. Il progetto di tesi sperimenta questo approccio in un ex quartiere minerario del nord della Francia, a Vieux-Condé, dove è stato lanciato un bando di concorso per la ricostruzione della scuola pubblica Georges Germay, dopo averla dichiarata non conforme alla norma. Questa opportunità permette di proporre una nuova scuola elementare innovativa, che abbandona i modelli, stabiliti ma inadeguati, tenendo conto di un contesto storico e culturale peculiare. La sua integrazione nel paesaggio locale si realizza attraverso una ripresa formale dei tetti caratteristici del quartiere minerario, distorti dai punti di compressione concettuali legati al quartiere circostante alla scuola. La scuola invita allo scambio sociale e vuole integrare la nozione di “quartiere nel quartiere” attraverso un’organizzazione interna basata sui principi di piazza, di via di distribuzione, di cortile interno e di orto comunitario. Questa apertura si attua parallelamente ad una tematizzazione degli spazi pedagogici, al fine di conformarsi ad un nuovo modello pedagogico nell’ambito di questo progetto. Viene inoltre implementata una gestione tecnica, strutturale ed energetica dell’edificio per dare credibilità all’approccio sperimentale di questo progetto di tesi e per partecipare all’emergere della pedagogia di domani.

Abstract
The pedagogy governance in France reveals a dysfunction that seems to depend on a global trend, called the “learning crisis” by the concerned experts. The existing school model, whose fundamentals date back to the industrial era, is increasingly out of step with the sociological evolution of the children’s generation that arrives at school during these years. The relationship to digital, to the other and to nature are themes that disrupt children’s behavioural characteristics, and schools do not adapt, which implies a call to the pedagogical revolution, theorized by our contemporary pedagogues who are alerted by the situation. A redesign of the educational system implies, in parallel with theory, a need for experimentation on site. Our view as engineers-architects makes it possible to engage in a concrete experimentation of these theoretical redefinitions of pedagogy, thinking about the evolution of the space in which this revolution takes place. This thesis project experiments this approach in a former mining district in northern France, in Vieux-Condé, where a competition was launched to rebuild the Georges Germay public school, after it was declared not to be in compliance with the norms. This opportunity makes it possible to propose a new innovative primary school, which abandons established but inappropriate models, while taking into account a peculiar historical and cultural context. Its integration into the local landscape is achieved through the characteristic roof’ based concept, typical shape distorted by conceptual compression points from the surrounding area applied on the school’s shape. The school invites to social exchange and wants to integrate the notion of “ district in the district “ through an internal organization articulated around principles such as places, distribution ways, internal courtyards and community garden. This opening is being set up in parallel with a thematization of the pedagogical spaces, in order to conform to a new pedagogical model within the framework of this project. A technical, structural and energetic approach is also implemented in order to give credibility to the experimental process of this thesis project and to contribute to the emergence of tomorrow’s pedagogy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
