I think this is the dream for all the students to study in such a stylish college with comfortable environment and good facilities. Each student gets a free laptop and wireless is provided everywhere in the school. Such an enjoyment to study in such college. Well, as for the workers, I think most of them wish they can back to school life right? Let’s check out the pictures below.
Orestad College is a public gymnasium in the Orestad district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is noted for its innovative architecture, favoring open studying environments instead of traditional class rooms, and for its media-oriented profile. The building is designed by 3XN Architects. The structure of the building uses three huge columns as the primary load-bearing mechanism. This allows for great flexibility in the use of the floor space. Smaller areas are demarcated or screened with non-load-bearing structures, the intention being to allow changes in the way the space is used over time. Newly developed furniture is used to create a range of different spaces, and is designed to be easily shifted and changed to accommodate different group sizes.
The college is interconnected vertically and horizontally. Four boomerang shaped floor plans are rotated to create the powerful super structure which forms the overall frame of the building – simple and highly flexible. Four study zones occupy one floor plan each. Avoiding level changes makes the organizational flexibility as high as possible, and enables the different teaching and learning spaces to overlap and interact with no distinct borders. The rotation opens a part of each floor to the vertical tall central atrium and forms a zone that provides community and expresses the college’s ambition for interdisciplinary education.
