내외부를 밀착시키는 건축적 방법, 다양한 내부의 공간을 하나의 연속된 흐름으로 엮기. 덴마크 하데슬레우에 위치한 VUC Syd는 일반적인 교육시설과는 차별화 되는 교육공간으로 구성된다. 도시와 항구를 360도 조망 가능한 건축물의 배치는 워터프론트에 위치한 지리적 특징으로 부터 기인된 물리적 요소와 지면에서 부터 지상으로 연속되는 테라스의 건축적 특징으로 내외부의 밀착도를 높인다. 이와 동시에 건축물 내부 중심부에 위치한 에어아트리움은 다음 연속된 공간; 그룹 스터디 룸, 프리젠테이션 스페이스, 커뮤니케이션 큐빅 그리고 명상의 방을 에어아트리움에 다이나믹한 조형적, 공간적 요소를 형성하는 지그재그 계단과 함께 수직, 수평으로 연결하며 이곳만의 특유한 호흡을 만든다. 다이나믹하며 비쥬얼한 공간은 일방 전달형 공간에서 상호 교감형, 참여형 교육공간으로 발전된다. 결국 공간의 화두는 소통인가?

The new education centre for VUC Syd in Haderslev, Denmark, has no traditional classrooms. Instead, it appears as a vibrant and visually engaging educational environment, in which group areas, presentation spaces, dialogue cubicles and quiet zones allow for a more diverse approach to education.

Inspired by its unique location on Haderslev’s waterfront the new education centre has been designed as an atrium building, with a 360° view of the city and the harbour. The education centre’s terraces are a key element in its expression. In a movement, which starts right down at ground level and ends up on the top floor, the terraces twine around the building, creating a vertical schoolyard and uniting indoors and outdoors in a single gesture.
However, the education centre is not only about making a distinctive mark on Haderslev’s waterfront. It also provides the setting for a future-oriented educational environment by combining expertise with modern information technology and innovative teaching methods. Therefore, the education centre has no permanent classrooms. Instead, it is has been designed as a vibrant and visually engaging educational environment, united by the atrium and the staggered staircase at the heart of the building.
A far more vibrant educational environment
To create a clear educational environment the floors have been divided into subject areas. The first floor is dedicated to science subjects, the second floor to cultural subjects and the third floor to modern languages. Thus, the education centre challenges the traditional notion of a school built up on the basis of permanent classrooms, in favour of a more flexible model in relation both to distribution of space and the flow of the students. This design approach creates a far more vibrant and effective educational environment, in which team areas, lecture rooms, dialogue cubicles, quiet zones and sports facilities allow for a more diverse approach to education.
Modern IT has been given high priority in the design and layout of the education centre. For example, every student is issued with his/her own iPad or MacBook, while 165 digital touch screens in different sizes have been integrated as a natural component of the educational environment. Contact to the city has also been given high priority. This finds expression in the public ground floor, which encompasses the public space into the education centre and includes a culture café and lecture theatre, which provides space for larger-scale events.
