school rafz
Swiss
architecture firm kit has developed an innovative proposal for the primary
school and kindergarten in Rafz Switzerland. The award winning project “Learn-scape”
is an open learning environment conceived as a porous space structure which
enables strong connections between classrooms, circulation and game spaces, exercise
rooms, gymnasiums and outdoor areas. The project can be viewed as a prototype
for the new pedagogical forms proposed by Swiss school authorities, which aim
at blurring the boundaries between classes of various levels.
The
existing compound of the School is clearly structured by a series of Volumes
that are organized in three program strands. One for sports, one for the school
functions and a third that acts as a connecting and mixing zone. This
organizing principal is extended and internalized to shape a simple but
programmatically loaded volume. The centerpiece is a multifunctional zone, which
serves as a space of encounter and orientation allowing for interesting
relationships between several floors and uses. Views into classrooms, gyms or
courtyard spaces create a connecting atmosphere with curtains controlling
insights. Multiple areas with distinct spatial qualities define this zone,
which can be reconfigured and used as an extended learning and play area or in
combination with the gyms for larger sports and community events.
Herein
a strategy of extreme compactness is pursued. Surfaces are minimized, flows and
processes are optimized and synergies between different users are maximized. Therefore
the new building not only fulfills ecological and economic needs, but also
propagates a denser, more sustainable urban growth in the beautiful landscape
of the Swiss midlands, where the past decades have been dominated by sprawl.http://www.kitarchitects.com/sites/kit_schulhaus_rafz_aussenbild.html
