*테트리스 파사드 [ ipas ] ESGE Ecole Secondaire de Genolier

백색의 설원과 극명한 대비를 이루는 파사드는 마치 1980년대 테트리스를 연상시키는

입면 구성을 보여줍니다. 유명한 아케이드 게임의 시뮬레이션이 투영된 입면은

사실 미세한 현미경으로 확대해본 잎사귀를 픽셀화하여 표현한 것으로

또다른 자연의 은유적 표현입니다. 이렇게 리드믹컬한 반복적인 패턴은

다양한 오프닝을 연출시키며 외부의 빛을 내부로 투영시켜 활기찬 공간을

연출시킵니다. 여기에 공간의 볼륨을 최소한으로 구성함으로써

-다시 바꾸어 이야기 하면 대지에 접하는 건축면적, 즉 인위적인 공간을 최소한으로

계획하여 삼림벌채에서 발생하는 자연홰손을 최소한으로 유지합니다.-

자연으로 부터 온 감성을 보존하고 내외부를 통섭합니다.

어찌보면 자의적인 해석으로 자연과 교감하려는 시각도 있을 수 있겠지만

리니어한 사각볼륨의 내부에 다양한 외부환경을 투영시켜

내외부를 밀착시키려는 입면디자인의 시도가 새롭운 공간을 창출 시킵니다.

the modular fenestration of this school building in western Switzerland was inspired by shapes from 1980s computer game Tetris.

Designed by Swiss architects ipas, the four-storey block is an extension to an existing secondary school and a glass bridge connects it to the main building at second-floor level.

Tetris

The building is located near the forest and its large windows fully open the school on its wooded surroundings. Imagine our children, perched in the wild beauty of foliage, about to sprout from vertigo that comes from the rise of knowledge ….

A place outside any, between heaven and earth, where reigns only the relentless beauty of a diaphanous light colored green, the sweet sound of singing of leaves blowing in the wind, a spellbinding atmosphere by its serenity in harmony with all the idea that there is a place of learning.

Imagine a school which draws its plastic aesthetics of the forest. A beauty who plays a musical symphony to the rhythm of chance and repetition, to capture, play, live emotions that nature gives us.

The building unfolds quietly because dialogue with nature, respect for the latter, out of modesty, its footprint is minimal: as a result of deforestation is reduced, the search also

The repeating pattern used for the definition of the openings of facade has its roots in the plant environment that characterizes the place. Zoom on the macroscopic foliage delivers us a pixelization constituting the frame in which the openings take place.

The famous arcade game Tetris animates the facades and makes light of the serious idea of a school to give it a more playful.

A door-to-north false facade welcomes the entry of the new school which is in turn connected to the existing complex through a large entry step outside that can serve as bleachers for outdoor sporting activities. A glass bridge, geometry broken, connects the two schools.

The program follows a hierarchical organization clear down the access and sport, the top areas of learning, this spatial arrangement is enhanced by the multiple external environments and their lights.
