It boldly uses the space, puts the visitors directly in the centre and offers dynamic composition featuring interesting play of bright concrete surfaces and grass, pinned with trees. The design would appear even stronger if the pavement 'frame' by the building had been left out, so the grass would come closer to the facade. The facade would already act as the frame and the grass as a passe-partout. Probably this was not possible due to safety issues and emergency intervention access. By using simple tools, Schønherr designed an interesting space that offers a number of different possible experiences (hard / soft surfaces, edges, sun / shade ...).]]> https://landezine.com/gronnegarden-herning-high-school-by-schonherr/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/bjornsletta-school-by-ostengen-bergo-as/ https://landezine.com/bjornsletta-school-by-ostengen-bergo-as/#respond Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:18:19 +0000 http://www.landezine.com/?p=31733 Østengen & Bergo: Bjørnsletta is a primary and secondary school for approximately 800 pupils, with an accompanying sports hall.
