The Boat Building School
Brooklyn, Maine
Powerful Approach
A space that physicalizes the curriculum of the boat school. The Building integrates the educational path of the curriculum with the physical path throughout the space.
Entering the building you are greeted with the self-learning spaces, which are the library and the drafting room. Moving on, you have the classrooms where you are taught by a professional. After the education stage, you are moved to the workspaces, which start with the Wood Shop, and then the Sail Knitting Room, and then the final Boat Building Room.
As you move through the physicalized curriculum, you get physically and conceptually closer to the water. Allowing the people that move through to feel a sense of progression and completion.
