4th PrizeFluid Spaces”The new school and gymnasium are a logical extension of the existing structures. Functions overlap,expand, and retreat as desired.“The new school and gymnasium in the municipality of Rafz (CH) serve as a connecting element between the existing school and their recess and sports levels. It provides a multitude of new, practical overlapping spaces for different functions. The new building’s scale is informed by the old school and its staggered volumes, which result from the landscape of the site. ”Inside the spaces flow fluidly into one another: The classrooms can be scaled up or down via sliding wall panels, glass doors, and curtains.“”The generous foyer mediates between the different spatial layers, the different users, inside and outside, public and private.“P R O J E C T D E T A I L S
