In May, the school concept is like a prison. However, the remodeled playground outside the school will contain freedom and seasons. A place for delicious desserts, meals, and coffee all at once. You can also take a look at the camping equipment placed around you, and take the autumn scenes to the fullest. Autumn is in school in May. - School = prison? - The model of the space called 'school' was a prison. The famous Panopticon of the prison refers to a type of prison architecture proposed by the British philosopher and jurist Jeremy Bentham. The etymology of the word panopticon is a combination of the Greek words 'pan' meaning 'all' and 'opticon' meaning 'to see'. This word was coined while proposing. There are three advantages to the concept of 'panopticon' that he spoke of, and the third of them, 'reducing prisoners and sending them out into society', is similar to the purpose of the school. However, it is good to understand that children are not prisoners and only progress into society through education. For the effectiveness of such education, the concept of the panopticon is well applied and can be observed in many schools in Korea. For readers my age or older, 'Our school was a princely school! Or, if you say, 'It was a C-shaped, a L-shaped,' one out of three can answer 'I was like that'. The concept of such a panopticon is the intersection or corner of a hallway in a school. - At the end of this fall, when winter is approaching, a friend who has been a strong bond since freshman in college invited me to his hometown. Chuncheon seems to be a place I come to once a year. My friend said that he had bought a lot of camping equipment, and that was the purpose of going to rest. When we meet, we talk about space. In the meantime, I remembered that there was a remodeled school space in Chuncheon. We had a great first night and went there for lunch the next day. The winding mountain roads of Gangwon-do have its charm. Even though the autumn leaves have all fallen, it is beautiful here, where the fallen leaves, the old road, and the colors of nature are prevalent. Arrived in 30 minutes after running along the lake, this space was like a large park in a very remote place. This is a typical school exterior. There is also an entrance in the middle of the 1-shaped building. I entered the space thinking, 'If you go there, you can see everything left and right through the hallway'. It was different than expected. There are no traces of the hallway. What is left is that it is still a space for children, and that the wooden structure remains, with the wooden floor attached to the wall, containing the traces of the space. - The real purpose of the educational space was to reveal the fundamentals of 'for children'. A small front door for children, a large playground for children rather than a photo zone for adults, and baked sweets with an interesting name 'Moi Set'. Contrary to my cold thoughts, this space contained a warm story. Stay is to the right of the entrance, and a cafe is in the main space. Beyond that, there is a woodworking shop and a restaurant. The rich program arrangement and the warm meaning of space. - This is the reason why it was so much better on this cold winter day. - This is a space for children #MaySchool. - Location _ 160 Napsil-gil, Seomyeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do - [Space Usage Information] - Stay _ Stayfolio Reservation Cafe _ 11-20 Restaurant _ 12-20 [LO 19:30] - Parking Available - Cafe Menu _ Restaurant photos 6 and 7 Menu _ Picture 10
