OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS: Architectures for Care and Education

Abstract

The need for open spaces, social distancing, and constant ventilation have put into question our collective spaces. Open-air schools, built more than 100 years ago in a period that aimed to rethink education establishments around nature and wellbeing, which involved educators, architects, and doctors, allows us to ask if it is possible to open a similar dialogue around the new care necessary in the face of the pandemic.
