Abstract
In the last decades, vocational education is having difficulties due to automation and robotisation. Which results in less vocational jobs and disappearing knowledge in most craftsmanship. One of the problems is the positioning of the ROC (the current vocational schools) in the Netherlands, fenced off buildings which are not connecting to their communities or their students. To create a new vocational school I will analyse different workshop through our history. To see which elements are interesting for the new craft school. At this new craft school the craft of ceramics will be learned. Because, in my opinion, this craftmanship is disappearing in the new buildings that are been build. Nowadays distinctive bonds are rare to be found, and most often simple bonds made from the most basic and cheapest bricks are been used in order to save money. At the new craft school the students learn specific skills but in order to learn these skills, the student should learn first the basics of producing and implementing bricks, to become valuable craftsman. in this booklet the different researches will be clarified in which the system for the new craft school will be explained, the production and implementation of ceramic bricks will be highlighted, the location will be unravelled and the users will analysed.
