HOME SCHOOLING IN PUBLIC Academic project Fall 2016 | Chanju Park Middle school | Ann Arbor, MI, USA
HOME-SCHOOLING IN PUBLIC
Concept Introverted building for introverted school Four small scaled buildings extruded on the surface, visible and accessible from the ground while rest of the building spaces are unseen from the exterior. Three sloped entraces bring the topography into the building, penetrating the building underground, merging with the interior building spaces. Four sunken gardens puncturing through underground building vertically, bringing light and air into underground school area. Myriads of paths flow through the ground level green roof area, naturally leading visitors to the interior space through sloped entrances.

Building Level building level change and structure The floor level of the building corresponds to the terrain context of the site. Gradual ramps are designed to merge into the meadow's ascending level shift. Users can access and circulate the building via three outdoor ramps and vertical circulations within extruded buildings.
