About Ningbo Hanvos School Aedificium Educationis

Schola Ningbo Hanvos aedificium educationis est, ad exemplar docendi internationale in area angusta destinatum. Praecipua difficultas erat inter aream parvam et necessitatem lati campi ludendi. Consilium spatium a caelo petit: spatia publica praecipua supra tabulata aedificii posita sunt, dum aulae classium fundamentales infra collocantur. Ratio atrii plicati aream in atria dividit ad docendum, actiones, administrationem et otium destinata. Tabulata verticalia gradus coniungunt et ambulationem in actionem communem vertunt.

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
Tags: internationalization, characteristic, Folded Courtyard, Zero Distance,
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.
