The Design

About Ningbo Hanvos School Onderwysgebou

Ningbo Hanvos Skool is 'n onderwysgebou wat ontwerp is vir 'n internasionale onderwysmodel op 'n beperkte terrein. Die hoofuitdaging was die konflik tussen die klein grondstuk en die behoefte aan 'n groot speelterrein. Die ontwerp vra ruimte van die lug af: die kern openbare ruimtes is boop-op die gebou se terrasse geplaas, terwyl die basiese klaskamers daaronder ingerig is. Die gevoude binnehofkonsep verdeel die terrein in binnehowe vir onderwys, aktiwiteite, administrasie en ontspanning. Vertikale terrasse verbind die vlakke en verander sirkulasie in gedeelde aktiwiteit.

Unique Properties
The contradiction between limited project land use and the high demand of international teaching mode for the site is the biggest challenge in this design. Under the pressure of maximize the playground, Hanvos School takes the approach 'asking for space from the sky': the school core public space is located at the top of building terrace, and basic teaching unit rooms are at the bottom of terrace.

Design Challenge
Project Innovation :
“Zero Distance” space conversion: on the one hand, the internal space is wrapped by platforms in layers. When room’s door is opened, users will enter continuous public space, and the space conversion in horizontal becomes the shortest; on the other hand, vertical connection becomes the most important element in the space system. The vertical space element is no longer defined as stairs and steps. Vertical height space and terrace are designed in purpose to strengthen communication among different layers. That makes the process of vertical traffic become a process of public activities. Thus a conceptual “Zero Distance” organization mode is created between the internal space and the external space. This organization mode also creates a new space carrier for the new teaching mode.
Inspiration
"Folded Courtyard" is the core design concept of this school. The stereoscopic organization of school space unfolds in both horizontal and vertical directions. By being bended horizontally, the site is subdivided into different courtyards corresponding to different functional requirements: teaching, activities,livelihood,administration, recreation and etiquette, etc.
