The master’s thesis is a reflection on current global changes, responding to them with architectural thought. The world is facing increasingly significant global changes, shifts that are altering our fundamental understanding of the space in which we live and share with our cohabitants, as well as our impact on it. This master's thesis, therefore, identifies five global problems and explores their potential for improvement. It seeks to find answers to these problems using spatial and architectural teaching tools. It recognises that, to achieve change, we must start with more environmentally focused learning. This creates a space where individuals not only learn but actively transform their relationship with nature and society. This shift in values leads to a more sustainable, responsible and conscious way of life. The chosen location is in a degraded area. It focuses on a former brickworks with a clay pit in Mengeš. A brickwork factory operated here from 1823. After it ceased operations, the clay pit flooded with rainwater, creating a pond that, together with its surrounding greenery, forms a rich biodiversity. With a comprehensive approach to both the pond and the abandoned buildings, the area is being revitalised, implicating a new program. It forms a learning centre that promotes lifelong learning through an alternative approach to education, emphasising sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity.
