Abstract

Low knowledge of Indonesian children about their natural realm, especially in the maritime field, indicates the
Indonesian educational curriculum is centered on teachers and textbooks without any direct interaction with the
object of learning. This fact is an irony for Indonesia which is seizing back its maritime glory. Uplifting this
maritime field in Indonesia could be a big challenge and difficult. It takes passion from generation to generation,
not only from the government. Elementary school became the most significant point for Indonesian youth mental
revolution. Besides children spend more time in school, apparently adult’s intelligence capabilities are rapidly
growing at the age of 6-12 years. This golden era comes only once, so not to be missed. Therefore, Baruna Bahari
Nature School intends to cultivate the spirit and love of their nature, particularly in the maritime field. With
examination of children development aspects and some surveys of primary schools in Jakarta and elsewhere, this
project is resulting in a natural school design that allows learners to freely explore, along with a slight
deconstructed typology of general elementary school in Indonesia. The harmony of exterior and interior creates
limitless space, with deep consideration to physical, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects in children, so that
students have a high fighting spirit, active, and creative.
