Ordrup School Extension Grønnevænge 16 2920 Charlottenlund School extensions can create 'schoolscapes' by allowing for new connections and by opening up new interior spaces At Ordrup School, the new

cuts allows for new and flexible ways of organizing the school day The programme consists of a café, a media library, a music room, teaching spaces and two auditoriums The larger of the two

7 Ordrup School Extension Grønnevænge Charlottenlund School extensions can create 'schoolscapes' by allowing for new connections and by opening up new interior spaces At Ordrup School, the new extension forms the fourth side of a square, making a loop out of what were previously three separate buildings Its plan maximizes connections between all parts of the old school; a system of short cuts allows for new and flexible ways of organizing the school day The programme consists of a café, a media library, a music room, teaching spaces and two auditoriums The larger of the two auditoriums is at once a place of passage and a place of gathering, as are all communal places The choice of colour for the façade is not just an aesthetic one; it also tells the story of the building, one about short cuts and connections between the different levels of the old school buildings The window panels on the second level are black - in contrast to the otherwise strong yellow - so they appear as cut-outs between the connective lines of the building Public access unknown! m² Main designer, CEBRA architecture Søren Robert Lund Municipality of Gentofte Rasmus_Rune_Nielsen Located in Charlottenlund/Ordrup, which is part of the Municipality of Gentofte 7

9 Bakkegaard School Extension Skolebakken Gentofte This project was developed in an unusually close collaboration between architect, client and users One of the architects' tactics was to detonate a series of 'design bombs', architectural solutions that fulfil all the ideas and visions of all the stakeholders involved in the design process The new school building at Bakkegaard School creates a new centre in a former campus situation It stands on what was the old school yard, making room for an indoor sports arena that is also the school's new social space In addition, the architects decided to recreate the old school yard on the new roof The extension has created a 'schoolscape' out of the school building by allowing for a new connection and by opening up a new interior space The green façade is a clear articulation of the landscape theme that defines the interior of the building and its relation to its surroundings CEBRA's ability to work with a very high degree of user involvement generates refreshing design solutions Public access unknown! m² Main designer, Landscape architect CEBRA architecture Kragh & Berglund Søren Robert Lund Municipality of Gentofte Rasmus_Rune_Nielsen Located off Helsingørmotorvejen (motorway 19), near Nymose Park 9
