In the middle of the edge - The strategy of densifying the existing building fabric creates new collective space and centrality. The level of interaction grows with the increase in activities and spatial density. By bundling and strengthening the existing node field, a dissolution and lack of reference is counteracted. The new structure is intended to create proximity to the existing school buildings and outdoor facilities and use the familiar access routes. The extension encloses the large central sports field of the school complex, similar to an urban square, and thus defines a place of high social density. At the same time, the new building complements this square with a spacious covered outdoor area. This new space can be used in a variety of ways and is easily accessible thanks to the four open corners. A special feature of the design is the generously covered and open “meeting floor”. The open first floor, the “empty space” is full of content. The decision to design an unenclosed space is the result of spatial unbundling and the desire to create a space charged with energy and excitement. The individual sensory experience is promoted where experiences, ideas and possibilities come together and the relationship to the surroundings can always be experienced. A spatial continuum that lends identity and continuity to the site and leads deep into the topographical edge to give the site maximum tension.
