colorful 'da hop school' by 1+1>2 architects echoes mountains of vietnam

in the design of the school, 1+1>2 architects offers a conceptual transformation of both the movements of its occupants and the surrounding landforms. the design team organizes a collection of volumes which rhythmically interlock, the undulating roofscape mimicking the movements of a traditional vietnamese children’s game. the school is designed with a versatile collection of spaces, including practice rooms, skill rooms, theaters, four-season swimming pools, indoor and outdoor stadiums, and aquatic gardens. these conditioned areas are interwoven with playgrounds and lawns, which meet the comprehensive development needs of children.

the school is organized along a primary north-south axis which serves to optimize ventilation and natural lighting. the building is clad with multi-colored, noise-proof ‘eco-roof’ insulation, and is fit with rainwater gutters used to water plants in the school yard. the team integrates strategies which passively increase room comfort — a sun-shade is designed along the main face of the south, while a balcony with openings in the west and northwest effectively shield the sun and wind. the da hop school introduces a welcoming, friendly space where children can gradually develop memories, along with a love for the spirit of their homeland.
