Abstract

Placeret i Atlas Bjergene i Marokko, er Utzon Akademiet et sted hvor arkitekturstuderende kan tage hen for at blive inspireret. De studerende vil få inspiration gennem den marokanske arkitektur og Jørn Utzons arbejdsmetoder. Designet af Utzon Akademiet sker genem en fænomenologisk forståelse of ild og vand i en lærings situation. Ilden og vandet skaber steder for reflektion og steder hvor folk kan samles og dele viden.

Situated in the Atlas mountains in Morocco, the Utzon Academy is a place where architecture students go to be inspired. The students will get inspired by the architecture of Morocco and the work methods of Jørn Utzon. The design of the Utzon Academy will happen through an phenomenological understanding of fire and water in a learning environment. The water and the fire will create spaces for reflection and a gathering space where knowledge can be shared.
