NUAU "Prostir" laureate in the nomination: Houses, buildings and edifices
Hardships:
- The site has many limitations of both insolation and sanitary type
Solutions:
- The building’s roof is asymmetric and has free slopes, continuing the theme of Comfort Town’s sloped roofs
- The school’s achromatic facades emphasize the contrast with surrounding colour buildings
- The building’s main expressive techniques are its shape and textures of finishing materials (metal, plaster and basalt)
- The building’s hallways do not have dead ends but create a square-ring around rooms and recreational areas
- The teacher’s lounge is designed in the open space format, offering comfortable conditions for internal talks, lectures and skill improvement
Facts and details:
- The gymnasium accommodates 600 students
- The cafeteria caters to not only the schoolchildren but also their parents
- The school has a 200-seat assembly hall plus another lecture auditorium
- Two gyms suitable for various sports
- The school’s area includes a greenhouse and a small garden plot
- 160 wells, 60 meters deep each, for a geothermal heat pump supply both heat and cooling to the school, thus ensuring that the school has an autonomous heating system
