The new Bildungscampus Aspern III translates the urban planning requirements of the brief into a cohesive architectural concept. Along Sonnenallee, a distinctive urban edge is established by dividing the building mass into three similarly sized volumes, with the central element accentuating the covered main entrance. Towards the northwest, the building steps down in scale, maintaining a considered setback from the adjacent parking structure with a clean, defined edge. The campus is accessed via a generous forecourt, while the sports and special education facilities are served by dedicated entrances to the north. The articulation of the overall volume into smaller elements creates a façade of human scale, enlivened by carefully placed spatial pauses.
The interior prioritizes clear and efficient circulation. A generous entrance hall with views onto the schoolyard leads to the assembly hall; two main staircases, complemented by additional core stairs, provide vertical connectivity throughout the building. Each floor is organized into two educational clusters with shared functions and communal areas, ensuring short distances and spatial clarity. The hybrid timber-reinforced concrete structural system unites robustness, longevity, and ecological ambition, complemented by modular timber-frame façade elements and prefabricated building components.
The landscape design is organized into three distinct zones: a public entrance area, a dedicated zone for learning, play, and retreat, and an open garden featuring a meadow and naturalistic elements. Roof terraces serve as landscaped outdoor classrooms. An "ecopark" with climate-resilient trees and ecological niches promotes biodiversity and environmental awareness. The energy concept is built around a highly efficient building envelope, photovoltaic systems, geothermal energy, and heat pumps, complemented by intelligent ventilation and thermal storage technology. A carefully considered fire protection and evacuation strategy — incorporating clearly defined fire compartments, horizontal escape routes, and accessible evacuation lifts — ensures the safety of all building users.
