The New Aarhus School of Architecture is a humble framework built out of solely necessity and functions. Its neutral yet robust character encourages the students to construct their space, hence school, through experiments and invites the public to engage into.
The school is a sustainable organism in both physical and material terms. The space is highly adaptive and flexible in response to the creations by the students through simple reconfiguration. Materials and wastes generated are constantly resumed or recycled via various means within the circular network.
The building floats - leaving the ground intact for the micro-habitat continue to flourish and for the public to enjoy. The building disperses - blurring interior-exterior and dissolving the boundary of the structure, inviting the public to walk into the everyday life of the students.
Principle 1 [framework to build onto]
Neutrality and the spatiality of the building allows and encourages students to construct and create their own space through experiments.
Principle 2 [bio-sustainability]
Structures to be floating to keep the ground as untouched and intact as possible. Protecting the expansive micro-habitat on ground.
Principle 3 [physical-sustainability]
Highly flexible and adaptive. The structure allows adaption or expansion through simple reconfiguration.
Principle 4
Workspaces and circulations are open and visible. Mingle between students of different years as well as teachers. Creation of a vibrant knowledge-exchangeable spatial environment.
Principle 5 [material-sustainability]
Materials and wastes generated are constantly resumed or recycled via various means within the realm.
Principle 6 [invitation to the public]
Dispersing the structure, blurring the interior-exterior boundary, drawing public programmes across the school, inviting public into the school.
