“We built a school that could easily be dismantled and repurposed, instead of being demolished.” #Sustainable
In the post-World War II world, as Italy was trying to pick up the pieces, move past the devastation, and start afresh, a pedagogist named Loris Malaguzzi along with parents in the villages around Reggio Emilia, a city, came up with a novel approach that replaced the rigid curriculum of school education, with a flexible one.
This approach was based on respect, responsibility and community through exploration, discovery and play, with the understanding that each child carves their own path of learning with the help of these principles.
