Energy-intensive building
The learning centre was built to help children coming from under privileged families from Suceava. The ISEA Association (intervention, support, education, assistance) had the initiative of creating an after school program for these children, which would be managed by volunteering nuns. They started this program in a small building and realised soon that they needed to expand. The old building didn't correspond to basic needs such as comfort, lightning, acoustics, and noise control. At this juncture, we were asked to come up with an inexpensive yet effective architectural solution. ISEA Learning Centre was designed to be a home away from home for children, where they can learn, laugh, grow, and have fun.In families with financial difficulties or broken homes, children tend to study in a non-conducive, high pressure environment. The learning centre is designed to create a pleasant learning atmosphere in a joyful space.The center offers a mix of large spaces for group learning and several smaller, age-specific classrooms. Due to the fact that the building serves for educational needs targeting children aged 5 to 18, and thus a wide-age category, the interior needed to be as unitary as possible.The interior design concept is focused on playing with the exterior and using random dimensions for windows in random positions, which welcome ample natural light from more playful angles.

    The bavaria-konb plate makes the instalation of the heating system very simple and economic.
    The system consists of a knob-profile with integrated impact sound insulation and pipe retaining system. Insulation and possible relocation of the moisture protection layer and exact pipe fixation in a single work process.

Reasons for participating in the competition(s)

​The building is in the very north of the country, in a sub-mountainous region with very harsh weather ranging form cold winters to dry and hot summers. The disadvantageous position of the city in relation to the countries major economic poles made finding low budget solutions adamant, intimately connected to local materials and crafts. The spaces created by using warm textures mixed with vibrant colours ensure a healthy environment in which children of all ages and social groups can live, play, study or just pas the time. The dialogue between light and shadow generated by the playful openings on the facade aims to soften the rigorous geometry of the interior. The design goal was to give a joyful character to this space, even tho heavily conditioned by weather and other factors, so that children of ISEA LEARNING CENTER have a stronger sense of belonging.
