The topic of this blog is an architectural design of a school campus with focus on the relationship of architecture to landscape.

Documented is the work in progress by Niya Syarova, Stephan Sobl and Stefan Ritter.

School Identity
The school program has a focus on trend sports and x-games: BMX, motor cross, skating, rafting, jet ski and parcouring.
The pedagogy is based on project driven teaching.

Architecture
The project defines and creates spaces by the undulations of one thick roof.
This creates an open floor plan in which the program is organized freely around project spaces. The central quad is the representational space designed as an event arena.

Landscape
The roof defines outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces, by the way it reaches out or merges into the surrounding landscape.
On top of the roof is an artificial landscape which is formed and designed as a tool for the different sports on the campus.
