How do you get children to play outside in a climate where it rains on average every third day? You see water as a resource and design the world's best school when it rains!
LINK Arkitektur received the assignment after an architectural competition announced by the Local Administration of the City of Gothenburg. The competition highlighted the building's relatively small scale, the project's theme of the path of water, and the well-crafted outdoor environment. With rain as a starting point and a creative approach, the City of Gothenburg, together with LINK, has shown how water can be a resource that enriches experiences and deepens knowledge. Torslanda School is an exciting meeting place for both students and the local community.
With architects, landscape architects, and interior designers from our offices in both Norway and Sweden, we have developed a 9,000-square-meter school with safe, inspiring, and educational learning environments. The primary school is planned to accommodate 600 students in grades F-6 and an adapted primary school.
The building's form makes efficient use of the site and creates a safe inner courtyard that brings together the most social functions, including leisure, group rooms, and a dining room. The classrooms have a view of the outdoor environment and the surrounding world. The activities are planned to minimise corridors and create movement through open spaces where students and adults are safe and seen. A variety of spaces, rooms, and nooks enables the accommodation of different activities, individuals, and needs.
The world's best school when it rains
From the moment the first drop falls on the roof, rainwater runs like a blue thread through the area and connects the schoolyard zones in a playful cycle before it finally infiltrates the wetland. The safe, playful, and educational school environment highlights the natural water cycle, its power, and its importance. Water, as a key element of the school environment, aims to increase knowledge of climate change in general and water in particular. That the children, in a playful way, learn about heavy rain, flooding and infiltration has been the guiding principle of the project.
The school's clear identity gives both the students and residents of the surrounding area a vital building to be proud of.
We at LINK Arkitektur have been the responsible architect from competition through the controlled request for proposals for the turnkey contract, with responsibility for architecture and landscape architecture, design, permanent furnishings, program development, and feasibility.
The turnkey contractor was Viedekke, with Tengbom as construction document architect.
