“The Children’s Art Laboratory demonstrates a significant symbolic character, being a landmark on the path from the historic centre to the cultural district.”
“The generous, communicative stairway, a multi-purpose space, serves as a forum for events and thus becomes a place to meet, as well as being the heart of the Children’s Art Laboratory.”
“The interconnected space and wooden structural framework offer maximum flexibility for an innovative promotion of art and culture.”
“The multi-purpose space winds its way along the façade in the form of a helix up to the laboratory.”
The building stands as a solitaire in the northwest corner of Altoona Park, which is specially designed and shared by the children and visitors of the Kinder Kunst Labor.
The four-story building includes a café and foyer on the first floor, exhibition spaces and laboratories on the two floors above, offices and the library on the top floor. Artistic performance and a children's advisory board are involved in the Arcitekten planning process from the very beginning.
“The exhibition world in the two upper levels weaves its way, as needed, into the available spatial framework. A continuous spatial zone emerges, consisting of open and enclosed space.”
“The everchanging veil of wooden vertical slats provides a filter for latent views into the building, whilst presenting the process-oriented character of this house.”
“The all-encompassing spatial composition is open, inviting, transparent and flooded with natural light, thus encouraging passion and motivation.”
