3. Politoed
Description:
Politoed (pronounced "poly-toe-d"). It is bright green in colour and it physically resembles a frog. Although the legs are quite short and stubby it is developed for jumping. They also have a long curled hair on top of their head, which is used as a unique symbol that makes it stand out. Politoed has impressive vocal abilities which can be used in battle in the forms of using a chaos song and high pitch voice. To call on members of its own kind it uses a special croak. Its habitat would be that of freshwater lakes.

"ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS" continued~ 3rd Work
EVELYN GRACE ACADEMY
London, UK 2006–2010
PROGRAM: Secondary school for 1200 pupils
CLIENT: School trust ARK Education
Government DCSF
Government DCSF
AREA: 10745 m2
CONCEPT:
Zaha Hadid Architects’ first completed project in England, the Evelyn Grace Academy in Brixton, south London for ARK Schools presents itself as an open, transparent and welcoming addition to the community’s local urban regeneration process. ARK Schools was founded in 2004 to work with the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and local authorities to create new schools offering exceptional opportunities to local children in inner cities through their academies programme, with the aim of helping to close the achievement gap between children from disadvantaged and more affluent backgrounds. Designed for 1200 pupils, the Evelyn Grace Academy maintains the educational principle of smaller ‘schools-within-schools’; with Evelyn and Grace Middle Schools each housing 270 pupils and Evelyn and Grace Upper Schools housing 330 pupils per school. Each of these four smaller schools are contained within highly functional spaces that give a distinct identity both internally and externally. These spaces present generous environments with maximum levels of natural light, ventilation and understated but durable textures. The collective spaces – shared by all schools – are planned to encourage social communication within each school and eliminate problematic zones that require supervision.

CONCEPT:
MAXXI stands for Museum of 21st Century Arts. It is the first Italian public museum devoted to contemporary creativity, arts and architecture. The idea of building a centre for contemporary architecture dates back to early 1998 with Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage desire to ensure the great cultural traditions of Italy's past should not be denied a prospect for continuity in the future. Intended not only as a place to exhibit art, the MAXXI was also planned as a research workshop for different contemporary languages of design, fashion and cinema to establish a dialogue with art and architecture - its cultural mission inspired by three key words: innovation, multiculturalism and interdisciplinary. The design concept for the MAXXI was to move away from the idea of the museum as 'an object' and towards the idea of 'a field of buildings' accessible to all. The research evolved into the concept of the confluence of lines, where the primary force of the site is the walls that constantly intersect and separate to create both indoor and outdoor spaces.
