Waldemann Schoolhouse, Zurich
Confrontation and studies on the qualities of the public areas of the Waldemann Primary School.
Three concepts
In the mirror version I thought of a enfolding. The constant reflexion, the not being able to escape from oneself and the others, may this promote the own as well as the collective consciousness.
The arrangement of the building components and surfaces in the first variant allows the continuous flow of the different room sections and the feeling of "being outside" the work spaces. Nevertheless - the break area, the corridors, the entrance area and the staircase are located inside the house. The formulation I aimed for, is based on a "cortile". An exterior interior.
In the sense of a sheathing that closes in on itself, also the Third Concept.
