Our aim was to create an open and liberated space for learning and communications by integrating the building and the hills around it.
The entire space spreads by forming terraces, which are connected with diagonal rooms for communication named “community voids”, which facilitate lively discussions among people who could take seats in the grand stairs and enjoy panoramic view of the nature.
建築と丘陵とをインテグレートすることによって、自由で開かれた学習とコミュニケーションの場を作り出そうと試みた。
テラス状に連続する空間は、コミュニティボイドと名づけたダイアゴナルなコミュニケーション空間によって接続され、大階段のステップに自由に腰掛けて、大自然を眺めながら、活発な議場が繰り広げられている。
