Hogeschool Rotterdam Extension

Idea projektu

We call this assignment: "optopping" in Dutch. This means a vertical extension/addition that is added on top of the original building which in this case is my schoolbuilding. The goal is to creat new functions that are not existing yet in the builiding and reclassificate the spaces. Apart from the spatial aspect, we also look at the constructive part such as materials, building technics, circular materials etc.

Popis projektu

Creating a mixed space for teachers and students, but also creating spaces that both students and teachers miss in their learning or working environment. the extension should provide more relief, because the existing building is mainly closed. In order not to lose the attention of students because of the stunning view, wooden louvers are placed. The wooden louvers provide separation but also daylight. In addition, between the facade and curtain wall is a balcony made for the students to take in fresh air and enjoy the plants.

Technické informace

In this project I have chosen 3 elements that have all the properties for modular and circular construction: wood, steel, glass. The construction of the extension should cause as little inconvenience as possible in terms of time and inconvenience to residents, students and traffic users. The wooden facades with plants still give the students a warm homely feeling.

Hogeschool Rotterdam Extension

Its hard to relate to thoughts dealing with varieties of options. The idea of extension on the top floors for teachers and students break out area is a nice point. Dealing the heritage of the education block and the street facade should be the main concern. May be following the vertical lines and windows pattern of the existing block and translating to a different innovative material on the upper floor. The ideas should be free and expressive.
