OASIS

OASIS is a visionary educational hub designed to support children with special needs through adaptive, inclusive, and nature-integrated learning environments. Located on Northerly Island, the project responds to the ecological richness of the site while embracing cutting-edge educational technologies and therapeutic design strategies. At the heart of the design is an AI-enhanced system that dynamically adjusts lighting, acoustics, and spatial configurations in real time—accommodating each student’s unique sensory and cognitive needs. The program includes flexible classrooms, therapy rooms, specialized STEM and arts labs, sensory gardens, and community gathering spaces, all centered around a restorative courtyard that encourages interaction and exploration. The architecture promotes wellness and environmental connection through biophilic design elements, including vegetated buffers, living roofs, and immersive outdoor classrooms near the island’s Central Lagoon. Existing structures are adaptively reused to reduce waste and extend the site's educational capacity. OASIS is more than a school—it is an inclusive, resilient, and responsive learning environment. By integrating AI technology, sustainable systems, and evidence-based spatial planning, the project redefines how educational spaces can empower all learners to grow, connect, and thrive.
