Seewen-Feld
A connecting school: Competition 2. Prize
Description

The new Seewen-Feld school acts as a welcoming connector between the train station, the emerging residential quarter and the remaining industrial zone, offering short, accessible routes thanks to its dual entrances from Gardiweg and Feld. Generous, traffic-sheltered outdoor spaces provide clearly zoned areas for play, relaxation and learning – with a central all-weather and break area as the lively heart of the site. Higher up, calmer garden and nature zones with an outdoor classroom support biodiversity and offer space for focused learning and exploration. The kindergarten enjoys its own protected outdoor area with natural play surfaces, water features and age-appropriate equipment. Convenient bike and scooter parking, safe access routes, a Kiss & Ride zone and public accessibility outside school hours anchor the building within the neighbourhood and encourage shared use by residents of all ages.

Architecturally, the school presents a precise, modern and harmonious identity: a robust metal-clad base forms the public ground level, while the upper wooden floors are articulated by horizontal window bands and elegantly integrated photovoltaic panels. These PV elements provide shade, reduce glare and create dynamic light effects across the façade, adding depth and rhythm. Green terraces link building and landscape, reinforcing the interplay between nature, sustainability and contemporary technology. The result is a durable, inviting and future-focused educational environment that brings together learning, community life and nature in a coherent and welcoming way.
