Mosaic project wins Redesign of the Luberzen school complex
Dietikon ZH - Die Büros VPA Architektur, extrã Landschaftsarchitekten und Timbatec Holzbauingenieure haben die Ausschreibung für die Neukonzipierung der Schulanlage Luberzen gewonnen. Ihr Projekt Mosaik überzeugte auch durch seine ökologische Bauweise.
The offices of VPA Architektur from Zurich, extrã Landschaftsarchitekten from Bern and Timbatec Holzbauingenieure from Zurich have won the competition announced by the city of Dietikon for the redesign of the Luberzen school complex. Their project, called Mosaik, convinced the evaluation committee both financially and in terms of urban planning and ecology, the Dietikon building department explained in a statement. Mosaik was unanimously chosen as the winner from a total of 15 proposals.
The winning project is characterised by good urban planning and external spatial coordination and multi-layered neighbourhood networking. The existing classrooms of the school complex are to be extended using a modular timber construction. In addition, the construction of a new community wing and a sports building are planned. The proposal by VPA Architektur, extrã Landschaftsarchitekten and Timbatec Holzbauingenieure also scored points with the jury due to its resource-saving handling of the existing building and its ecological construction method. “Despite the small floor area compared to the other project entries, it convincingly fulfils the required space programme from an organisational and operational point of view,” writes the building construction department.
The new concept provides for the expansion to four kindergarten, 16 primary and 18 secondary school classes. In addition, a canteen, a library, a triple gymnasium and a teaching pool are to be built. Interested parties can view all 15 proposals submitted until 24 September on the first floor of the Stadthalle Dietikon.
