Nijmegen, The Netherlands
DESIGN AGS ARCHITECTEN & PLANNERS B.V.
Using the metaphor of an Italian village with streets and public squares, this building is designed for secondary vocational education. The footbridges are hanging between the various building parts as balconies and are furnished with lounge benches created from PU foam by Quinze & Milan, and reading- or worktables. In this way they create a direct connection between the dynamics of the plaza and the scale of study workplace possibilities in the complex. From dynamic to silence for concentration.
