Double Sports Hall

摘要

The existing school complex was constructed by Hans von Meyenburg from 1954 to 1956. It is dispersed across the site in a loosely staggered parallel configuration. The project strategy is based on an analysis of the existing buildings, which are under historic preservation, and how they have been extended over time. From this, we proposed a division of the spatial program into 2 parts. The spaces of the gymnasium also provide additional rooms for educational purposes. These supplementary spaces and the gymnasium spaces are deliberately separated, by dividing these functions into 2 buildings. The existing school wing is simply and efficiently extended with these school functions. Hence, the project continues to develop the existing typologies and reiterates Hans von Meyenburg s original concept: adding new extensions to the school building according to the architectural practices of the era. The play area of the school is also spatially strengthened by the insertion of the new gymnasium. As an open space, it now appears clearly in the center of the complex, and defines the identity of the complex as a whole.
