Machné Architekten nous propose de découvrir ce bâtiment au design étrange situé en Autriche. Composé de fibres de bois et de ciment, cette structure aux volumes asymétriques est en réalité une mairie ainsi qu’un centre de musique et contient aussi des bureaux. Une création à découvrir dans la suite.
Innsbruck architect Daniel Fügenschuh has completed a concrete and glass extension to a school at a former monastery in Rattenberg, Tyrol.
The three-storey-high rectangular block provides new classrooms that can also be used for after-school activities, as well as a school dining room.
A large copper-framed window is the only embellishment to the street facade and frames a view out from the front of the dining room, while angled skylights bring natural light into classrooms on the top floor.
A glazed lobby connects the extension to the existing building and a first floor mezzanine provides a viewing platform into the adjacent gym block.
We’ve got a few interesting schools in the Dezeen archive – see them all here, including one outside Paris with walls, ceilings and details picked out in bright orange.

Here’s a little more explanation from Büro Fügenschuh:

Hauptschule Rattenberg
A 15th century monastery in Rattenberg, Tyrol was first transformed to a secondary school with a new gym extension in the early 1970ies.
To meet today’s social needs and pedagogic standards a new school extension became necessary so pupils can stay after school and get lunch.
Open plan zones will free up space to allow for alternative teaching methods.
With a modern approach of protecting architectural heritage the building opens up to the historic centre re-defining the importance of the school in the urban context of Rattenberg.
