KTA Zwijndrecht, a maritime secondary school, according to the passive house standard
Type
SIZE
300,000 sqft - 500,000 sqft
BUDGET
$5M - 10M
De
Bouwerij Architects is, in collaboration with Aupa, laurete for designing three
passive schools, including this maritime secondary school in Zwijndrecht,
Antwerp, Belgium.Concept
This is a
maritime school designed according to the passive house standard.
The
design connects in a clear way the various school functions to form a U-shape
with one shorter and one longer ‘leg’. This creates a space that is partly enclosed
which extends visually and spatially into the adjacent open space. This space
will have the function of a playground.
In this
way, the building is closed on the street side and meets on the other side with
the rest of the original site. It is so that by this sort of form, most of the
classrooms are oriented north south, which is an ideal situation in the passive
house principle.
The workshops
fulfill various functions. With their position, parallel to the street, they
show the technical function of the school. The glazing on both sides creates a
view through the building to the enclosed playground. Because of the position
of the workshops in the middle, they form a link between the classrooms.
The
auditorium lies in between ‘theory and practice’ and provides a recognizable
and easy access to the building.
The structure
of the roof lights and the walkway on the second floor emphasize the technical
nature of the school. This walkway connects the two blocks of classrooms and
gives an extra visual dynamic to the enclosed space of the playground.Techniques
This concerns a school that is designed to meet the passive standard.
Therefore balance ventilation with heat recovery is installed and is controlled
by CO2 detection. The building is cooled naturally by night ventilation, which
uses the visible concrete mass of the building. With the optimal orientation
(north south of the classrooms), the suns heat can be used to its maximum.
