BAN Educational Landscape / gernot schulz : architektur

Goal: The basic idea was to bring together and expand an existing choice of schools comprising various facilities for children and teenagers so that a complete “educational chain” for all age groups could be provided at a central city location. The developer’s goal was to prove that a school-based on new pedagogical principles would not be more expensive than a conventional “corridor school”. By grouping and synergistically using the available rooms and eliminating the need for corridors, it was possible to plan and build in a way that saves space, costs, and resources. A large spatial volume was reduced to a minimum of the building volume and sensitively integrated into the neighborhood and the public park with a small-scale approach.
