JES Socialtecture: „Studies of Life“ as a School Subject
With Socialtecture, we approach places and spaces from the perspective of life and community. Nine timeless „Principles of Life“ serve as a foundation for creating sustainable spaces that foster positive coexistence. This approach can also be applied to schools. We start with the communal aspect (-social) and develop the spatial dimension (-tecture) from there.
