About Ningbo Hanvos School Edifici Educatiu

L'Escola Ningbo Hanvos és un edifici educatiu dissenyat per a un model d'ensenyament internacional en un solar limitat. El principal repte era el conflicte entre la petita parcel·la i la necessitat d'un pati de jocs ampli. El disseny reclama espai al cel: els espais públics principals se situen a les terrasses superiors de l'edifici, mentre que les aules bàsiques se situen a sota. El concepte de pati plegat divideix el solar en patis per a l'ensenyament, les activitats, l'administració i l'esbarjo. Les terrasses verticals connecten els nivells i converteixen la circulació en activitat compartida.

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.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site Area: 53330 sqm
Building Area: 36362 sqm

Production Technology: Materials for wall: Barotropic aerated concrete bloc B6;
Thermal insulation material: XPS, Mineral (rock) wool felt, Inorganic lightweight aggregate insulation mortar type C;
Energy measures: Rooftop solar energy storage;
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.
