The
project won 1st prize in an invited competition the autumn of 2007.
With very few adjustments the competition project was realised.
The
roof is shaped as the terrain folded up from the ground. The tilted
wall towards south become the stand for the sports fields and can also
be used for teaching purposes for smaller groups. Under the roof all
the schools functions are pushed under. An open landscape with smaller
volumes, as houses within the house, creates a rich inner school
atmosphere. Because of the compact building volume we have achieved
short distances and almost no corridors. The compact plan invites to
activity and use, with openness and connectivity in the inner school
landscape. Some of the rooms are “Inverse” – outdoors atriums cut out
of the building mass and allows daylight to penetrate the building. The
main entrance to the east leads into a circular open schoolyard atrium
which is placed in the centre of the building volume. The school layout
is solved with a huge degree of variation in its internal room
composition.
The
three different years uses three different areas within the plan, and
there’s an emphasis on the use of flexibility in spatial solutions and
possibilities for multi use and shared functions. Different parts of
the school can be closed to create spaces that can be used separately
at night time.
Outside
the school there are areas with different qualities, both urban and
green areas – which contrast and supplement each other. The school
building with adjacent outdoor areas will together with the future
sports facilities be a coherent complex with both functional and
architectonic qualities.
