educational campus Gnigl

competition, 2nd stage

Salzburg / Salzburg

2013

The concept for a school grouped around an atrium, whose sequence of spaces is open throughout all levels, is fragmented by the context – the existing trees and the topography – and it is this fragmentation that shapes the school. This design process leads to a differentiated building form within the small-scale surrounding fabric and to an unusual significance of the building typology: it is respectful of the site’s special characteristics and shows its reverence for the baroque city of Salzburg. The three-story atrium constitutes the center of the school; all of the major functional zones dock onto it. A split-level concept follows the hill’s slope and makes possible half-story connections between the various groups of rooms, as well as a ramp system for universal accessibility.
