described a formal architectural style. Instead, since the opening of the first Casa dei Bambini in Rome in 1907, her educational philosophy has inspired a global repertoire of child-centred learning environments, all of which share a remarkably positive atmosphere for teaching and learning, despite vast variety in economic, cultural, and geographical conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"1281\">To better understand this phenomenon, a team at AWF conducted a study in 2018, examining a selection of such schools across Africa, Asia, and Europe. In doing so, they identified 28 recurring architectural patterns, later published under the title \u00abMontessori Architecture: A Design Instrument for Schools\u00bb. Shortly thereafter, when the Tanzanian NGO Africa Amini Alama announced an architectural competition for a new school in the Maasai region, the opportunity arose to test the instrument in practice. The resulting project, Simba Vision in Ngabobo, was awarded the Dezeen Award for Architecture Project of the Year in 2023.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1283\" data-end=\"1868\">Today, new schools based on this publication are being built around the world. In Tanzania and Kenya, the Arthur Waser Foundation assists selected model projects. The most recent initiative to expand Montessori Architecture is the \u00abMCT Challenge Fund\u00bb. Its goal is to support trained Montessori teachers in Tanzania in establishing 100 scalable nursery schools across various regions of the country. Each of these schools is designed by local architects, built with regional materials, and follows the 28 patterns of Montessori architecture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"1965\">For more information, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthur-waser-foundation.ch\/en\/mct-challenge-fund-for-montessori-nursery-schools-in-tanzania\/\">MCT Challenge Fund for Montessori Nursery Schools in Tanzania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-sizes-top:0px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:0px;--awb-border-sizes-left:0px;--awb-border-sizes-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-blend:overlay;--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3>External links<\/h3>\n<\/div><ul style=\"--awb-line-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-width:27.2px;--awb-icon-height:27.2px;--awb-icon-margin:11.2px;--awb-content-margin:38.4px;\" class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-1 fusion-checklist-default fusion-checklist-divider type-icons\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-no\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon icon-arrow-up-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.park-books.com\/en\/produkt\/montessori-architecture\/1058\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00abMontessori Architecture: A Design Instrument for Schools\u00bb at park-books.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"fusion-li-item\" style=\"\"><span class=\"icon-wrapper circle-no\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon icon-arrow-up-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/montessori-architecture.org\/patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital design instrument: montessori-architecture.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Dr. Maria Montessori never defined an architectural style, her educational philosophy led to a worldwide repertoire of kindergartens and schools that share a remarkably positive and stimulating learning atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,81],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-en","category-urbanization-and-architecture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
