In November 2016, Runnymede College – a British school located in Madrid, Spain – called for an architecture competition to configure its premises, of 6.760 sq. mt. property including new and existing buildings, the common spaces and the sport grounds, according to an Anglo Saxon academic and environmental model. A pragmatic approach to knowledge, interdisciplinary programs, the charismatic figure of the tutor and an emphasis on collaborative work shape the character of the spatial organization, its atmosphere and the system of visual and physical relationships.
Rojo/Fernández-Shaw won the competition with the catchword “UNCAMPUS” (one campus). Continue reading ROJO / FERNÁNDEZ-SHAW

Le projet procède avant tout par une qualification des espaces publics du site pour redéfinir l’avenue Henri Golay comme un lieu de référence central pour le quartier. Le projet propose de renforcer l’aspect de parc linéaire menant de l’avenue de Châtelaine vers le Rhône en proposant une succession d’espaces de caractère différent reliés par un espace partagé à l’ouest du site et un cheminement arborisé à l’est. Deux bâtiments à la géométrie biaise se situent au centre de ce parc linéaire, les jardins et les aménagements de chaque côté agissant comme des médiateurs d’échelle avec le bâti existant.
