Environmental problems are closely related to unbalanced human behavior. Several approaches and developments that have been made in fixing environmental problems are still considered to be less concerned with human psychological aspects. The importance of an environmental education both formally and informally is an important part of changing human perspective on the surrounding. This effort is expected to be an effective way to shape the human lifestyle to be more responsible for the surrounding environment. The physical environment could play a role in instilling environmental education. Architecture as a physical environment also plays an important role in providing learning that triggers human awareness for shaping pro-environmental behaviour. Environmental education was translated through designing educational facility as learning instruments. Environmental education is proper for children, especially in shaping identity and delivering opinion phase, considering they are becoming agents of change. This education is expected to contribute shape pro-environmental behavior in the wider community. This proposal explores elementary schools design that provide formal and informal education through architectural as pedagogy. The design integrates environmental education through active and passive architecture. The design is generated through the relationship between the physical environment, environmental education, and student behavior as the basis for developing students' mindsets. The elementary school design uses 9 architectural as pedagogy criteria, namely transformative learning, innovative solutions, wellness, active settings, apparent clue, levels of stimulation, sense of community, progressive efficiency, and physical engagement for implementing architectural configurations. From reasoning these criteria shows some important points in the design of pro-environment schools. The visual literacy process support students understanding environmental education from architecture. The design is expected demonstrate school facility that physically provide environmental education and trigger pro-environment behavior in Indonesia.
