‘The simplicity of elements, what the architect defines as plates (floors), tubes (columns) and skin (facade / exterior walls), allows for a complexity of activity and information systems. The diverse programming creates an intricate spatial rhythm which is defined by varying degrees of public spaces; communal spaces of activity and individual spaces of repose and solitude. ‘ The tubes look like a forest, growing in the flexible transparent cube. An excellent example of a playful yet simple solution for a multi-use space!
Bernard Tsumi- La Villete,Paris
Even though this is a public space project, I believe it can be very inspiring as to building modules for the school and what those could look like. The idea behind La Villete is a network of what the architect defines as ‘folies’ ( actions of crazyness ) , playful red pavilions that transform the space into a playground!
Two other projects I really like , are
the Miami School of architecture
and the ECAL School of Arts
