Abstract

Through both the lens of sustainability and current events, particularly the pandemic, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of adaptability and intensive use of buildings. In the Netherlands, one form of adaptability and intensive use emerged in the second half of the 20th century in school buildings. One of the main ideas is that schools should have not only supported various educational functions, but also social functions within their neighbourhoods. These new ideas manifested themselves in the H-schools in Amsterdam-West. Existing literature provides theoretical contexts regarding the H-schools. Through further evidence-based study, this thesis examines in what ways the H-schools in Amsterdam achieve their role as community centres. The findings of this research can be valuable for current day designs and plannings.
