Abstract
Schools built from approximately 40 years ago have become obsolete and take up to 35% of the total; most of these schools have adopted standardized design planning. Antiquated schools are are reluctant to embrace innovative educational changes yet are now having to confront deteriorating physical condition, manage leftover spaces due to the declining student population and address rigid modular space compositions. Obsolete schools that are typically located in low-rise detached residential areas. These factors possess the potentials to integrate a social infrastructure or living social overhead capital(SOC) that can be a used as a strategy to enhance both the school and the local environment. This study presents six remodeling design proposals conveyed to a selected school that has been confronting deterioration and idle space areas within a typical low-rise housing community. An analytical framework was set to examine physical remodeling tactics and integrating methods for living SOC to mutually beneficial. The results revealed that various approaches can be taken through remodeling the existing modular plan of the school building with varying degree. The playground that is typically covered in sand affords the opportunities for multi-level programming by utilizing the underground area to provide a mediatory green space between the school and the local neighborhood. The full spectrum of remodeling design strategies applied to antiquated schools carry the potential to become a safer educational space and can activate its role as a communal anchor.
