*컬러 스트립 그리고 화이트 싱글 볼륨 [ RipollTizon ] Binissalem School Complex

그라운드 레벨에 위치한 다양하게 조각난 볼륨은 상부층의 화이트 싱글 볼륨과 대비를 이룬다.

더 비니스살렘 스쿨 컴플렉스는 프라이머리와 세컨더리 스쿨을 다양하게 분절된

오프닝과 싱글볼륨으로 덮여진 공간안에 배치한다. 그리고 이러한 형태의 시작은

스쿨과 이웃한 외부조건들간에 수많은 대화 속에서 발전해 나간다.

그러한 과정 속에서 발전한 저층부 다양한 컬러의 볼륨들은 아이들이 입고 있는 밝은 옷들을

촬영한 이미지에서 추출한 색감을 사용한다. 이것은 건축물을 구성하는 디자인 요소에 아이들을

직간접으로 삽입하여 아이들이 사용하는 공간과 아이들을 동기화 시킨다.

그것들은 아이들의 컬러풀한 옷과 움직임을 통하여 표현된다.

그리고 학교가 된다.

The School Complex (provides primary and secondary school levels) is located in the outskirts of Binnisalem urban fabric. The plot is located along a suburban road named "Camí de Pedaç" on which the urban planning has concentrated a heterogeneous mix of typologies, including diverse row houses, detached blocks and urban facilities.

From the beginning, our intent was to develop the project as a dialogue, on different scales, between the school and its surroundings. On the one hand, the new school building faces the road with a fragmented volume and a broken skyline that enhances perspective effects and scale control in relation to the singularities of the unorganized neighborhood volumes. On the other hand, towards interior of the plot that faces the countryside, the building embraces the sport ground areas creating a facade with bigger scale elements and more compact massing. Moreover, the building areas used only for teaching were clearly separated from those that can be used also for non-school events, creating different building parts and scales that were properly arranged into the complex.

A set back on the facade to the road creates the main access space, an open plaza in the building corner, that generates the circulations and arranges the different functions. The functional packages are grouped in different levels with the intention to reduce the building coverage surface and create a plot area where playgrounds, sport grounds and future extensions can be located.

An exterior ramp connects the school grounds to an elevated plaza that is created in the roof of part of the ground-floor. From this roof plaza is also possible to enjoy the excellent views of Binissalem skyline and its surrounding mountains.

Bold blocks of colour at ground level contrast with the white upper storeys of this school in Mallorca by Spanish architects RipollTizon (+ slideshow).

The Binissalem School Complex combines both a primary and a secondary school and comprises a single building made up of overlapping volumes and recessed openings.

RipollTizon explains that the building was designed to reference the different scales of its neighbours: "From the beginning, our intent was to develop the project as a dialogue, on different scales, between the school and its surroundings."

The colourful stripes were generated using photographs of children wearing bright clothing. "The intention of using colour in some parts of the facade is to create a background for the children," the architects told Dezeen. "Their colourful clothing and movement will blend with the facade."

The school is laid out on an L-shaped plan with three storeys. This creates long walls along the edge of an adjacent road but opens the building out to playgrounds at the rear.

Classrooms are arranged in tiers so that multi-purpose spaces are located nearest to the playground and can be utilised for non-school events.

A long ramp also leads up from this area to a roof terrace with a view out towards the mountains.

The main entrance is on the north-west corner, where the walls step back to frame a small courtyard.
