"Schoolchildren Palace" in Kazakhstan
The traditional spatial structure of the madrasah was used as the basis for the palace of schoolchildren in Turkestan and rethought in a modern interpretation. Traditionally, the majority of Kazakh children had the opportunity to study only in rural madrasahs. Madrasah is an educational institution that serves as a secondary school and a Muslim theological seminary. The building of the madrasah had a characteristic planning structure: an inner courtyard in the center, along the perimeter of which there were residential and educational premises. The multi-colored atrium is the central space connecting all parts of the schoolchildren's palace. It is a multi-layered, light-filled, visually connected space that encourages children to interact and explore.

The prototype for the space-planning structure was the unique nature of South Kazakhstan. In plan it is a honeycomb structure of melon and cotton originating from the turkestan region. Such a structure allows to make each room of the palace unique, which gives maximum freedom in using the premises, reveals the minds of children. The unique landscape of the Charyn canyon, one of the most beautiful places in Kazakhstan, served as a figurative prototype for the schoolchildren's palace. Uneven vertical volumes allow you to create a unique silhouette of the building, fill the offices with light coming from the top and from the sides.
Classrooms and laboratories are divided into three blocks according to the type of employment: culture, science and technology. In the first block, children will be able to develop their creativity, immerse themselves in the culture of their country. These are art classes, music classes, modeling and sculpture classes, and much more. In the second block, children will be able to deeply engage in their favorite sciences and languages, solve various puzzles, and play educational games. The third block is filled with the most modern and innovative technologies for the development of schoolchildren. These are robotics and computer science classes, design classes, laboratories with 3D printers and VR-glasses, where children can immediately produce their inventions and immerse themselves in virtual reality.
The directionality of each functional block is reflected by identical patterns on the facade in the form of perforation of composite cut-through panels characteristic of the corresponding block.
