Sekolah Bogor Raya is a national plus private
educational institution based in Bogor, Indonesia. It is located at a suburban,
quite a distance from any nearby public transportation facilities, and a bit
isolated in that sense so that it is commonly accessed by private vehicles. The
project is a development for a new building is intended as a new extension of
the existing main building located at the background. The development is
urgently needed due to the growing number of students – from kindergarten up to
high school students - and much needed shared facilities for all levels. In
addition to that, the construction is tightly schedule so it should not
intervere with the regular school activities, especially the flow of traffic
(vehicular & pedestrian) within the school complex.
Due to the lack of available un-built areas,
it is decided to built-up the plot and leave only necessary amount of open
green spaces at the ground level for specific uses. Another main challenge
developing the project is that the new building should consider the flow and
crossings of vehicles and people; from the drop-off to the buildings and
between the buildings. The complex and various activities within the buildings
should be managed in regards to the functional effectiveness, smooth flow of
human & vehicular traffic, the different users/ groups of users, control
and maintenance, as well as flexibility of uses.
The new building consists of a dedicated floor
for kindergarten classrooms, common areas, green spaces, offices and
facilities. A double-height library is located between the ground and first
floor. While the first and second floor are mainly reserved for elementary,
junior-high and senior-high classes and activities. However due to the dynamic
growth of the school, another important challenge is how to allow future needs
– which can possibly include adding another floor on top - and changes while at
the same time maintaining the clarity and ‘effectiveness’ of the building form
and designs.
The form refers to popular white
square-hole-punctured box without indicating the scale/ proportion of the
building. Some of the holes are made big enough to form a lobby or an open
space for dining & semi-outdoor activities. Those open spaces are connected
to the main circulation system and also performing as the natural ventilation
& illumination for the common areas.
