 Plan Lofvers Van Bergen Kolpa
Carpetcampus

In this plan the educational renewal, which is the purpose of the campus, is taken as the starting point. To achieve this renewal, an unusual proposal has been made by unravelling the education on the basis of study profiles (nature, technical, care, culture and basic education). Each profile is housed in a separate building with its own public space. This means the pupils from the three schools will mix together on the basis of their shared interest in care, business or things technical. Each of the schools’ own identity will be preserved in a ‘home base’ housing the canteen, staff room, offices and suchlike. This gives rise to a ‘carpet’ of green amenities and clusters of buildings, each given its own characteristic form. By interweaving the various parts of the programme, a complete urban model will be formed with a rural character. Public, collective and private mingle with one another; learning and working dissolve into and mix with recreation.
