Armenia’s Ayb School shortlisted for Martela EdDesign Award

PanArmenian, Armenia

PanARMENIAN.Net – The architectural project of Ayb School – a private educational complex in the Armenian capital city of Yerevan – has been shortlisted for a Martela EdDesign Award.

The creators of the new academic building of the Ayb school sought to build a cozy and innovative building.

Designed by Storaket Architectural Studio, the building practically does not require heating and consumes very little energy. The installation is thoroughly scrutinized. For example, despite the fact that the ground floor is 8 meters below Earth’s surface, the rooms have access to natural light.

The School has 11 entrances and exits so that children can stroll around the premises freely all year round, regardless of the weather.

Those standing behind the project have paid due attention to safety, having carefully worked out the evacuation system.

Winners will be announced on April 19 in the framework of the Martela EdDesign Conference in St. Petersburg.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
