NAMELESS Architecuture-DH Triangle School
삼각형 학교는 사람, 장소 및 교육 간의 관계를 단계화한다. 세 요소 간의 상호 작용은 건축의 복잡성을 드러낸다. 그러나 그들은 동시에 단순한 교차점을 만드는 기능을한다. 이 학교는 복잡함과 단순함의 변증법칙 해석을 통해 교육 건축의 새로운 가능성을 모색한다. 삼각형 경계를 이루는 세 면은 서로 다른 특징을 내포하고 있다. 북쪽의 놀이터, 동쪽의 언덕, 서쪽의 기존 건물은 세 가지 다른 환경이다. 이러한 요소는 삼각형 건물의 레이아웃 내에 배치된 세가지 다른 입면으로 이어진다.
3면이 다른 외부의 복잡한 특성과 달리 내부는 건물 중앙으로 균일하게 열린다. 교실이 있는 2층과 3층에는 하늘을 바라보는 마당이 있다. 중정을 나누는 투명한 내부 삼각형은 외부 삼각형과 다른 각도로 배치된다. 이 불일치는 바닥 사이에 수직 간격을 만들어 단일 공간으로 연결하여 어느 지점에서 열린 시야를 제공한다.
The Triangle School stages relationships between people, place and education. The interactions between the three elements reveal the complexity of the architecture. Yet, they simultaneously function to make a simple point of intersection. Located in Namyangju, adjacent to Seoul, this high school building explores new possibilities of the educational architecture through the dialectical interpretation of such complexity and simplicity.
The Triangle School implies the different characteristics of its three bordering sides. The playground to the north, the hill to the east, and the existing building to the west are three different surroundings. These factors lead to three different elevations - opened, closed, and compromised - which are arranged within the layout of the triangular building.
The façade of the building with a transparent skin is defined by vertical louvers, an architectural device that maintains an appropriate balance between illumination and privacy. On the contrary, closedness is the way of responding to the existing building to the west which has different programs. It is a middle school building with a wholly separate operational system. Thus, this existing structure needs to be functionally distinct from the Triangle School. For this, based on the closed concrete wall, one single triangle-shaped window minimizes mutual interference, implying the geometry of internal space.
Unlike the complex characteristics of the exterior with three different sides, the interior opens uniformly into the center of the building. On the second and third floors, which have classrooms, is a courtyard looking up at the sky. The transparent internal triangle that divides the courtyard is placed in different angles to the exterior triangle. This discordance creates vertical gaps between floors that connect them into a single space to provide an open view from any spot.
This external space located in the center of the building creates a learning environment with a certain level of illumination and functions as a small courtyard with sunlight and wind. The triangular building will become a medium that enables open conversation as a flexible and playful social space.
