Ein Luftschloss ohne Mauern
- Masans, Chur
- The concept of the "air castle" emerges as a metaphor for a space that invites us to dream, reflect, and explore new possibilities. The design of this space itself reflects this shifting idea of purpose and identity. The central space acts as both a dividing and a connecting element.
- It organizes the surrounding areas while maintaining a sense of openness and fluidity. The spatial program is divided into service rooms and served rooms. The service rooms, such as kitchens and storage areas, form the periphery of the building, while the served rooms occupy the core.
- These ribs, though not heavy or solid like fortress walls, provide a structural framework that evokes the architecture of the past. This design choice demonstrates how modern architecture can preserve echoes of history while integrating new forms and functions.
