Binh Duong School : Vietnam Education Building

Binh Duong Architecture, Vietnam - design by Vo Trong Nghia Architects

4 Oct + 27 Aug 2012 Binh Duong School Building Architects: Vo Trong Nghia Architects Project Description Binh Duong, a new city which is 30 minutes away from Ho Chi Minh City, has a typical tropical climate all year round. The site is located in the middle of a flourishing forest with a wide variety of green and fruits, running rampant. This is where folks spending their time under the shade of trees. To pursuit a beautiful life, people are in harmony with the nature, making the border between the inside and the outside ambiguously. From the very first impression of the site, we tried to embed the building into the site by delivering this Vietnam-oriented generous spirit of natural land into the school design, which will eventually have 800 students. photograph : Hiroyuki Oki The building is located in 5300 square meters abundant land, consisting of a maximum height of five levels, with the intention of being surrounded by the height of the forest around. Pre cast concrete louvers and pattern walls are used for envelop of the building. These shading devices generate semi-outside space, these open circumstances avoiding direct sunlight as well as acting like a natural ventilation system for the corridor space. All the classrooms are connected by this semi-open space, where teachers and students chatting, communicating and appreciating nature. photographs : Hiroyuki Oki We designed the school as a continuous volume in order not to disturb any school activities. This fluidity concept is inspired by the endless raining of the typical tropical climate, where raining season lasts from May to November each year. This continuous volume has a gentle slope surrounding the two courtyards as a geographical hill, lessens the aggressive height between the building and the peaceful site. photographs : Hiroyuki Oki The school is designed as an S shape, connected to the ground at one end, curving around two courtyards with two different characteristics. Front yard is used for public space, serving for formal events such as meetings of the school. Backyard is more private, where students spend their personal time.Teacher rooms; gym, laboratory and library are located around the front yard, while common students' classrooms are arranged around the back yard. The open space flows throughout the circulation to help teachers and students enjoy various activities of the two courtyards with rich natural surroundings. photographs : Hiroyuki Oki Thus, we intended this school to be borderless between the school activity and surrounding nature and also not to destroy the current abundant forest as much as possible. In this open school, students enjoy their life learning the generous spirits of nature. This is our alternative proposal for school design in Vietnam. photograph : Hiroyuki Oki Binh Duong School - Building Information Name of project: Binh Duong School Architect: Vo Trong Nghia Architects Architect’s Names: Vo Trong Nghia + Shunri Nishizawa + Daisuke Sanuki Photographs: Hiroyuki Oki Binh Duong School images / information from Vo Trong Nghia Architects Binh Duong School Vietnam WAF Awards Shortlisted building in 2012 for School category
