On Thursday 29 September 2011 at 6:15 pm Jan Nieuwenburg, councillor of education in the city of Haarlem, will open the exhibition, ‘From Crèche to Campus – Mecanoo’s educational buildings, present and future’ in the ABC Architecture Centre in Haarlem, the Netherlands. This exhibition presents the educational buildings designed by Mecanoo Architecten analysed and placed in perspective against the backdrop of changes in society, ideas about education and the status of schools. The exhibition is open until November 27th. More information on the exhibition after the break.
During its thirty years in practice, Mecanoo has designed a wide range of buildings, both in the Netherlands and internationally. Inspired by social engagement and a humanist philosophy, Mecanoo aims to offer the new generation a stimulating educational environment from crèche to campus, from primary school to library.
