Edogawa Ward Kasai Daini Elementary School

Edogawa Ward Kasai Daini Elementary School

This is the second school to be implemented as part of the Edo-Kawaramachi District’s renovation plan for junior and senior high schools. Established in 1952, the school has a long history and tradition. It has been cultivating the cultivation of sweet peas, offering classes on old-fashioned games, and participating in the Dogo-Kashi Festival, all of which have helped it fulfill its role as a “school of the community.” Even in the new school, we aimed to create an environment and space where children can actively learn and live, as well as a place to serve as a hub for local activities.
In the plan, the two courtyards are arranged in an “8-shaped plan,” centered on the two courtyards, so that the activities of children from different grades can be seen through the courtyards while maintaining the flexibility and independence of the units for each grade.
The plan for the section of the building is to place administrative offices, a dining room, and special classrooms that will be open to the public on the first floor, and regular classrooms and a media center on the second and third floors. The gymnasium, which is also used as a shelter, was installed on the second floor to avoid water damage.
