ARCHITECTURAL POETRY — The Harmony of Design & Education | Panta Rhei is a school located in Amstelveen, Netherlands. Designed by i29, they have created a simple and unique space for its students. Allocating poems dealing with friendship, insecurity, and identity by Dutch poet, Erikjan Harmens, on different walls and floors of the institute; i29 has designed a multifunctional space for motivation, creativity, while simultaneously removing distraction. 

The school’s identity and milieu is inspired by the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus’s, aphorism: “panta rhei,” meaning “everything flows.” Each space is transcendent. There are no limitations as to what room is restricted to a specific area of study. Art, math, science, and literature are not constricted by its surroundings, instead they are equally stimulated. 

The simplicity of the design and the complex meaning is explicit. The language of its architecture is clean, progressive, and simple without becoming overindulgent.
