The International School in Ikast-Brande (ISIB) is so popular that there was a need for new, larger premises. C.F. Møller Architects designed a new 2,600 sqm building with two floors of light brickwork. This includes a school, after-school and kindergarten in the extension of an existing training complex. The complex is designed like a small town with individual volumes located around a square and winding streets. The roof is covered by a flat roof with roofing felt and each building masses are separated by glass-aluminum sections in a darker tone. Throughout the building are omnipresent views to the green landscape and a pleasant natural light influx, creating a bright and friendly environment for the children and staff. Wood-aluminum windows are arranged in an interesting vibrant pattern that gives ample amount of natural light into the building. The International School with the new building can accommodate up to 200 students.

At the heart of the building is a long, curved superstructure with a curved form. The superstructure contains ventilation systems and skylights, and is clad in translucent facade panels and double-glazed windows,

    On the exterior of the building, Trost decided on a buff terracotta façade that helps to blend the building in with the surrounding scenery.2 The Tuscan-styled Roman hexastyle portico sits on a podium, located in center of the building with rectangular block wings on each side of it.3 The portico is surrounded with six Corinthian styled polylithic columns.4 The columns and most of the façade is pieced together, and is not made of solid concrete.5 The capitals are adorned with helix, acanthus leaves, and a fleuron.6 Past the astragal, we see the shaft is fluted down to the filet, with a torus, scotia, torus, and plinth making up the base.…

    Ada Louise Huxtable Summary

    The title of Ada Louise Huxtable’s book is not the only thing that alludes to Louis Sullivan’s article in 1896, “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered.” Sullivan’s article is concerned with how “form follows function”. However, the overarching question within Sullivan’s article asks: What type of decoration or façade should these steel skeleton multi-storied office towers be wrapped in? Huxtable believes that this very question is one that needs repeating. Huxtable not only gives us a look back, but also offers her expectations for the future in the answering of this very question.…

    Chartes Cathedral

    Upon finishing the circuitous walk, we continue to the apse. Since the cathedral is laid out in a cruciform shape, we pass by the two transepts (right and left rectangular shapes of a cross). Pillars line the aisle stretching a magnificant18 m to the ceiling. Once in the nave, we can observe the vaulted ceiling, which is 36 m high, and stained glass windows on either side. Prior to entering the Cathedral, we had noticed the unusual flying buttresses (the supporting arches over the windows) on the outside walls of the nave, created to support the extra tall vaulted ceiling. The extraordinary stained glass windows are dark, but still light enough to allow us to view “biblical stories, legends of the saints, the lives of heroes like Roland and Charlemagne, and scenes of everyday medieval life”.…

    The most impressive part of the design is in its dome, where the complex corners and curves of the plan are pulled upwards like a tent. Standing at the center of the church and looking upwards, it’s beautiful shape is revealed, and the pronounced entablature makes the visitor want to flow around the space, following its shape. The dome is filled with natural light, which elevates the space into a spiritual…

    St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York

    I stood facing the gothic cathedral and I couldn’t help but gasp at the distinct facade of Saint Patrick’s. At first glance, one would have an impression of ‘heavy layering, a bunch of shapes and lean, heavy pillars’, majestic, extravagant as well as complicatedly structured. However, at a second look, the facade is actually mainly just composed of triangles and rectangles, erected bold and beautiful in the center of the city.…

    Informative Writer's Workshop Based On Fish

    The classroom has a lot of natural light as well as iridescent lighting. The classroom is set up where children are sitting in groups of two tables holding up to 8 children. Children are encouraged to talk, and interact with each. Whole group instruction such as story time, or movement activity is done at the rug. The children’s work are displayed on the walls along with teacher-made work to create a print rich environment that is not over-stimulating to the children’s senses. The classroom has multiple centers such as library, writing, art, and dramatic-play which gives the children opportunities to do hands-on activities, which was a great motivation for them. The materials in each center are readily accessible to children, and 90% of them are duplicated, which makes it easier for them to complete their work, or play if they want to use the same…

    Child space

    Teaching architectural design studio on the planning and designing spaces for young children is generally based on adult’s perception that may not relevant to the children’s functioning. Form, shape, colour and function are the parameters applied in designing and articulating the spaces inside and outside the architecture. The design approach is somewhat not consistent with the literature on children’s functioning in indoor and outdoor spaces, which suggests that the value of a place is determined by its function rather than form and colour. In other words, adults perceive space more on form, function and aesthetic whereas children see the space more on its functions rather than aesthetic. As such, architects perceive a pediatric ward of a hospital as a space that accommodates beds, aisle for movement, toilets and bathrooms, a nurse station, a doctor room and a dressing room. For play, a playroom is attached to the ward which housed toys and television and a floor for rest. Studies in pediatric nursing suggest that such setting leads to boredom, anxiety, and stress…
