02.13.2020 // 22:56 // mood: grateful

gratitude comes in different sizes, shapes and flavors some are filled with grandeur and platitudes, and some are met with chaste kisses and embraces they sometimes taste like strawberries and cream (and maybe just a little like your lips on mine) but mostly they taste like candied apples and vanilla

i don’t always remember how to say thank you when thoughts are filling my head, some orange, some purple, blue, indigo and green; but i do remember that you are the one who soothes me

you are the one my thoughts circle around, my colors bleed onto the fingertips that caress my thoughts and you paint me red and yellow 

like the flames of a fire; and i want to thank you because i learned i don’t need to send myself up in embers to keep others warm; but you,

you make me want to light the match from the inside out.

The existing school of Birmensdorf needs to extend into an empty plot to incorporate the population growth of the region. This new school enlarges the learning concept of the existing school and requires specific room layouts: a flexible learning landscape where each classroom extends in small group corners and where the corridors become informal teaching spaces. The project appears as a freestanding volume that defines two main open spaces: an outside learning topography with exterior terraces and a wilder field in next to a small rill.

Two running terraces surround the volume and define two learning platforms with independent access to each class. Within these platforms, interior and exterior rooms combine to create multiple layouts, a changing learning landscape with different learning corners that the students will colonize during their classes. Two patios bring light to the corridors and define small sitting niches, learning tables and wardrobes. The ground floor defines a generous hall for unexpected uses, like a covered street.
