Wettingen School Cafeteria by :mlzd

The old cafeteria of the Wettingen School was too small, due to constantly raising pupil number, so :mlzd projected the new cafeteria according to the typology of the existing buildings.

The new cafeteria has a rural character and part of a the conceptual and formal analogy with the traditional farm, which makes the volume, types and structural features of the interior space.

The building envelope, composed of a homogeneous coverage of black anodized aluminum sheets, plays with the light that seeps between the silhouettes of the flowers and leafs cutout of the aluminum sheets.

Interesting. I like the shape but I’m not sure about the color. I wonder why they chose that material. Are there picture from inside the addition? It doesn’t look like much light can get in.
