Kickin' it new school!





The Provenance: 

Architect: Vo Trong Nghia co.
School Name: Binh Duong Junior High School
Year Built: 2011
Client: Phan Chu Trinh School
City and Country: Binhduong, Vietnam

This building is designed to be very open and a natural part of the environment. The classrooms are closed off from the environment, to create a focused feel, but the hallways and social spaces are integrated into the environment through the use of slatted sides, garden spaces and the pool. The bright white is supposed to be airy and welcoming, beckoning students to come and learn in the building. The transparent nature of the building provokes the curiosity of students by engaging them with their peers and allowing students to observe what their peers are doing in the social and educational environment.  One interesting aspect of the building is the accessible green roof, which allows students to have access to a green space for socializing, relaxing and learning in the natural environment. The design of the school promotes both engagement with and separation from peers and the environment, depending upon the space being utilized.
