Elementary School in Riksby

Sammanfattning: A new F-9 school for 900 children is planned in Riksby, Bromma. On the site today there is an airport which will soon be demolished and give place to a new neighbourhood. The layout is based on a 4,8 x 4,8 m grid, inspired by classic structuralism from the 1960s. As a core concept, the school should be perceived as a small village, with houses, streets and squares. Three seperated buildings are connected by a continous corridor with generous measurements, in contact with daylight. The corrdiror will become a social indoor street, where the kids meet up and have a break between the classes. There are also a few squares which will serve as gathering zones, which the classrooms are clustered around. The layout is open towards the south-west, creating a large continous playground with good daylight conditions. The construction is characterized by a beam - pillar structure out of wood. The load bearing structure is exposed in the facade and the interiors.
