Architecture MasterPrize 2023 - Educational Landscape Category
The benefits of outdoor education have been underlined, notably by a recent study of the American Institute of Research: nature nur- tures the kids' imagination and uplifts their senses. While being healthy, learning outside is good for the brain; it contributes to improve the students emotional, intellectual and be- havioral development, as well as their sleep, and it reduces the stress. At Dwight International School, outdoor areas bring nature and playful experience from the groundfloor to the rooftop to develop their confidence and independence along with a better understanding of the environment. Creative and vegetable gardens, green hubs for chats and relaxation as well as sports courts, provide the kids with activities that comple- ment the skills they acquire in the classroom. Those features encourage the students to learn, imagine, discover and play.

Stormwater management
The illustration below and the sequence aside shows how the rain water will be captured and partially absorbed in the multiple planted areas along the different levels of the build- ing, reducing substantially storm water flow rate as an effective flood prevention measure.
he remaining running water will be fil- tered and collected in the caption ponds, which will have a seasonal character: Dur- ing the rainy season the excess of natu- rally filtered clean water will be direct- ed to the Central Lake, while during the dry season the water perimeter will de- crease, giving opportunity to natural plant- ing transitions to appear.
