Vibeeng School in Sealand, Denmark by Arkitema Architects

The primary goal of the vibeeng School is to integrate sustainability and learning in a low energy school (equivalent to LEED gold). The building is characterized by its red exterior and the abrupt foldings of the roof which create “house” like images in the facade and spatial variation in the interior. At the same time the varying shapes of the roof provide optimum angles for south facing solar panels and north facing windows. Both active measures that help create a low energy school. The school itself is designed from the inside out with an overriding concept that activates the whole plot and the landscape elements that surround the school.
The Vibeeng School signals playfulness with its red exterior and the active learning environments both inside and out. The Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority and the Realdania Foundation recently issued a model programme for primary schools in order to help rethink the physical environment of primary schools to make them better match current needs and ways of learning. The project for the Vibeeng School is based on the programme and Arkitema Architects is thus the first Architectural practice in Denmark to meet the challenges of the model programme in an actual project.
