new school building

The school in Komořany is entering a new-built residential area on the city's southern edge. The Komořsko neighbourhood where the school is located is still full of brownfields and is currently undergoing a turbulent development. Surrounded by freshly completed residential development, on the hillside below Komořanský háj is the site of a planned school building. All that remains to be added is the motto of our competition project: the microworld of education on a green carpet.

Our solution connects the school and nature in the tightest possible way. It benefits from the proximity to the forest, the sloping site, and the area's character on the edge of the newly settled urban area. By peeling the vegetation surface away and transferring it onto the roof of the ground floor, we have created two complementary worlds. The school's world of the common areas interacting with the city at the streetscape level and the world of learning, movement, and nature above. We then connect the two in several places. But the obvious centre of gravity of the educational adventure is at the top, in its own universe, where nature is a touch close.
