Competition 3. Prize


Idea

Preserving as many existing green areas as possible
Positioning the sports hall in the center and making it the core of common spaces
Transformation of classroom tracts in cluster zones

Architecture

Sports hall is the new centerpiece and, together with the recess areas, dining hall and daycare, it generates the core of the building.
The form of the existing building remains intact and is only expanded by adding additional capacities to classroom tracts creating clusters.
Green areas connect to the school building on multiple levels.
Additional floors added on top of lower parts of the existing structure.

Outdoor areas

Outdoor green areas are preserved and new terraces added to upper floor clusters.
