Kids ♥ SANAA

July 5, 2010 by Mariabruna Fabrizi Leave a Comment

After the parkour on BIG’s mountain dwelling in Copenaghen, and the trial on Snøhetta’s Opera House in Oslo, here you can find another “extreme” sport practiced in a contemporary architecture masterpiece: the landscape-like interior spaces of the new SANAA Rolex learning center in Lausanne, Switzerland appear to be perfect for kids’ intense climbing and rolling.

The spontaneous ways of interacting with a building are multiplied here, where the canonical distribution and paths are questioned by the introduction of topographical shapes. Even the way people behave can be subverted in a space that’s so unconventional. That’s maybe one the clearest proofs that an architecture succeeded in being innovative.
