SISIMIUT IRON & METAL SCHOOL: BLACK & WHITE 

In 2021 we contributed with our images to this beautiful project from our friends from KHR.
The new building for the Iron and Metal School in Sisimiut is a clear and well-defined building volume in the landscape. The large workshop halls with their sculptural forms form an escalating course that emphasises the existing landscape slopes, which together form the ‘Green Corridor’ gorge from the stadium to Spejdersøen. The roof forms of the halls imitate the surrounding mountain ridges in expression and colour.
The building as a whole connects to the existing buildings and forms an architecturally closed context, while each building has its own expression. The schools thus appear as a single dynamic educational area, but with a clear division of functions that makes it easy to find one’s way around the buildings. lt won the competition by the way…
