Come in! Guggach Primary School in Zurich

avec:

• Christian Weyell and Kai Zipse, Weyell Zipse Architekten

The Guggach Primary School experiments with transformative spatial qualities: its iconic central foyer is designed as an intermediate climate zone that adapts to the changing seasons. Open in summer and enclosed in winter its climate is regulated through manually operated sliding gates and a greenhouse roof. The foyer's three-storey atrium offers open, flexible spaces with a fluid perception, whose use can be continuously re-defined. The lecture will focus on the question of how this space fosters the creation of community within the school and the surrounding neighborhood.
