As part of an attachment to Kiettisack International School, servicing students from primary, secondary, highschool and university level age pool.
The project is an attempt to integrate between private and public use; a sports and recreational stadium for health, sports, arts, martial and dance, with a international sporting court sizes suitable for national and international matches. Where members of the public may reserve and book venues for personal use as well as functions, in conjunction with regular student use.
The facade utilizes louvres as it’s secondary skin to control sunlight penetration into the primary glazing skin beneath, with the circular form, expressing motion and flow.
A simple yet effective method that local contractors can feasibly construct without much difficulty, due to restrictions in fabrication and manufacturing facilities within Laos.
