educational center gerlos

The education center consists of an ensemble of two buildings with a common center on a public pedestal for sports. The typology of two village houses, one for the little ones and one for elementary school students around a central square above street level was chosen in order to do justice to the building proportions according to the surroundings and use by children. The eastern house of the elementary school functions as an overhead development, with shared areas in between and below. The center forms a place to meet and linger with a view over the mountains in the south. Here, sheltered from the weather, you can eat, play, learn, eat or relax. The base structure with the gym and the cloakrooms can be used by the public completely autonomously, the assembly hall of the elementary school is also connected to the stairwell and can be used for events without having to enter the school. In summer the auditorium, library and dining area can be opened to the outside, offering a joint use.
