Competition
entry: Art work for Høvik new school, Lier, Norway 2009.
|
|
Høvik new school is a new building for about
900 pupils (aged 6 - 16). An important architectural idea is
the visual relationship between class rooms and the bigger
common space in the middle of the building. The walls
between the two zones are all in glass. |
|
The art
work idea is to strengthen the identity of the common space
by introducing 6 column objects to it. And furthermore to
emphasize transparency of the surrounding walls by coloured
glass patterns, giving each of the 22 class rooms a
different door-size sign. |

Glass
patterns and a model. To be digitally printed on PVB between
laminated glass layers.Size: 80 x 280 cm
Glass patterns appear
close to each class room entrance door. Their shapes are
very different, but they all intend to create an illusion of
three-dimensional space (glass material, action of walking
in or out, recognition).

Column
objects are of the same shape and size (110x160x380 cm), but
differ much in directions, positions and colours. They
create a rhythmic unity throughout the space, and they are
also visual comments on local spatial functions.
The colours of the
objects and the glass signs are similar, but without any
attempt to create a system (e.g. class grades,
administration, floors, wings and so on). |
