The exhibition showcases the design of Cycle I schools in Abu Dhabi, emphasizing a model that accommodates separate classrooms for boys and girls while sharing common facilities like cafeterias and gyms on a segregated timetable. The layout features engaging learning communities at the periphery and communal spaces at the center, promoting community interaction. Key architectural elements include soft seating areas, shaded outdoor learning spaces, and culturally relevant decorations. Designed for flexibility, with a focus on Emirati culture, this project showcases innovative educational architecture.
