The Project
The proposed building design was inspired by the
existing layout of buildings within a confined space.
Spanning between a double-volume multi-purpose
hall and a visual art department office, the primary
goal was to create a structure that harmonizes with
the scale and proportions of its surroundings.
Functionally, the design integrates with existing units
to facilitate seamless flow of activities. The concept
revolves around three staggered blocks that visually
connect the existing buildings. These blocks ascend
from the art office to the multi-purpose hall and vice
versa, supported by V-columns designed
ergonomical- ly with seating at their base for
students. Elevating the blocks addresses the need for
expanded space during lunch breaks, as identified by
the school authorities. Underneath the elevated
structure, the space integrates seamlessly with the
existing hall, extending it to accommodate various
outdoor school activities under shade. Ultimately, the
design aims to evoke a sense of familiarity and
completeness, akin to fitting the missing puzzle piece
that has always belonged there.
