Normally I do not read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very compelled me to check out and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thank you, quite nice post.

I for one think the architects should be given kudos for creating both a serene and interactive environment for children with special needs. The coloration of the light wells provide a warm and inviting transitionary space where imaginations can soar and wander.

And enough with the symbology craziness already. Rotational symmetry and chirality is the basis of life as we know it, and thus revered in many forms around the globe. It’s not as if the light monitors were based on a five five grid.

Again, excellent work my friends. I’m guessing both the staff and the children enjoy the space on a daily basis.

I can’t help but think that the light monitors would be stronger if they were painted white instead of reds and blues. Their effect would be much subtler but they would showcase changes in the light so much more.

niels
the hakenkreuz is merely a plan graphic. the components of the jester’s cap roof in the center of the building are volumetric wedges, turned to capture daylight from the four cardinal directions. this device was designed in three dimensions, not in two, and the plan of the thing is the result of the formal response, not the generator of it. if one insists on seeing a swastika in this building, our response is that we have unwittingly transformed a symbol of hatred and death into a volume of joy and life.

not only a Buddhist symbol, the swastika (the “Symbol”) has been revered as an auspicious symbol by many religions in the east including Hinduism as Buddhism…..n just for the record..this is not a Nazi symbol though it was adopted and changed accordingly

it is the buddhist symnbol. the nazis have adopted it and gave it a 45 degree. so it is only offensive when it is tilted.
