建筑事务所A&F architectes为HEIG-VD（沃州工程与管理大学）的工程管理高中设计了新入口。建筑师Aouabed和Figuccio提出了一个设计策略：建造一个由单片墙体所限定出的建筑体量，以期在赋予学校视觉识别性的同时，重新组织其公共空间。
The new entrance to the HEIG-VD in Yverdons-les-Bains designed by A&F architectes. The strategy of the architects Aouabed & Figuccio to build a single wall as an architectural synthesis to create a visual identity and reconfigure the public spaces of the school.

本项目希望能够通过一个雕塑般的建筑体量，将原本毫不起眼的学校正门打造为一个极具存在感的入口空间。具体的设计目标如下：
– 在学校内创建一个高辨识度的行人入口空间； – 激发学校内闲置露台空间的活力，并将其整合到入口空间中去； – 创建一个在公共空间中具有较高可见度的标识系统； – 通过材料的选择来反映学校教学的具体内容； – 为人们提供一个具有空间序列感的独特的聚会场所。
The project proposes to use an architectural sculpture to create the main entrance of the school, which so far is not identifiable. The objectives are as follows:
– Establish a main pedestrian entrance to the school, clearly identifiable. – Activate the unused terraces of the school to integrate them into the entrance route. – Integrate signage that is visible from public space. – Reflect the particular questions taught within the school, through the choices of materialization – Create a unique meeting place, a spatial sequence allowing users to meet and meet there.

设计团队延长了现有建筑体量的曲线造型，创造出一个近似于圆形的空间。这个类圆形的空间位于可通向校园庭院的空间轴线上，既是整个学校的入口，又可作为Aula大楼的室外前厅。此外，该空间大尺度的立面还清晰地界定了学校的场地边界，并在此基础上赋予了学校一种视觉上的可识别性。

By extending the curve of the existing building, the intervention generates both an entrance pavilion in the axis leading to the main courtyard of the school, an outdoor foyer for the Aula, as well as a monumental façade, which delimits clearly the school grounds and asserts its identity.

这个空间系统具有很强的功能性，因为它定性地改变了闲置露台的功能属性，并在此基础上创建出了新的交通流线。与校园内的其他建筑一样，该入口空间的墙体由混凝土现场浇筑而成。在造型的处理上，上半部分墙体采用沉箱型结构形式的不透明洞口，配合着其表面上阶梯式的图案纹理，不仅营造出一种材料的像素矩阵感，还暗示了建筑的结构。此外，在墙体的透明洞口内嵌入由HEIG-VD所研发的彩色玻璃，从而进一步强调了入口空间的身份识别性。另一方面，入口空间的曲线造型也暗示了混凝土在古罗马时期的最古老用途，从而呼应了该学校一项重要的研究活动。

The system is functional because it makes it possible to enhance unused terraces to qualitatively change their status and create new routes. The wall is made of concrete poured on site, like the existing building. The upper part is made up of a multitude of caissons or material pixels, which refer to the structure of the building and allow HEIG-VD to be registered using stained glass. On the other hand, the curve and the shape of the boxes refer to one of the oldest uses of concrete from Roman antiquity, and thus directly addresses one of the research activities within the school.

站在主入口的对面，人们可以看到方形的门洞中存在着一个错位的蓝色圆盘。这种设计处理不仅重现了入口空间的类圆形造型，更延续了Aula大楼的圆形几何体量。这个蓝色的圆盘充分地利用了空间的不同位置和透视法则，既丰富了入口空间的视觉效果，又给人一种置身于异空间的错觉。

Opposite the front door is the ideal vantage point for reading the anamorphosis, a blue disc framed in the square door. This form visible from a single point of view, replay the architectural gesture of the entrance, which extends the circle of the Aula. This sculpture / painting uses perspective and fragments according to the movement of the user, offering the entrance space a possibility of somewhere else.
