Rasmus Hjortshøj
A factory for architecture. Inspired by 21st century learning principles, the school was designed as an incubator for architectural experiments, workshop-based learning and unplanned synergies between students. The architecture is raw, almost resembling an industrial building at first glance, but the refined detailing and strong spatial organisation deliberately step into the background as a flexible framework.
The building is located at a former railyard with traces of industrial history forming a raw authentic identity. Characterised by its exposed materials and industrial details, the building design adapts to this unkempt environment.
The intentional simplicity of the design is a detailed response to the school’s need for functional and robust spaces. Moreover, the school will reduce its energy consumption by 50 % compared to the sum of their former locations. Designed through co-creation in an innovative partnering model, the project shows an alternative direction for cross-disciplinary collaboration in the building industry.
↪ How can we rethink traditional city planning and respond to the urgencies of the continuously evolving urban environment?
