How much more enjoyable would school be if you could lounge on the roof while you study? At the Universidad Autonoma Benito Juarez de Oaxaca in Mexico, that might be exactly how students in the future get their inspiration, at least at the Fine Arts School by ROW Studio. The building is designed to have rolling hills on top, covered in real grass, intended to merge modern architecture and education with nature through constant exposure.
Considering how quickly green roofs have gone up in popularity, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more school adopt ecotecture designs similar to that of the Fine Arts School by ROW Studio.
