New Gymnasium for TASIS
The American School in Switzerland
A detail of the east facade of the new Gymnasium, showing the relationship
of the stair tower, main volume and apse to the existing dormitory
"Monticello" at the left of the photograph.
The interior of the Gymnasium, with its exposed timber roof structure,
retractable baskets, pull-out bleachers, and solid Canadian maple floor.
The Gymnasium draws on both classical humanist culture and traditional
details to enhance the meaning of the building for the academic community.
Details in wood such as these over the entry doors recall local
Ticinese precedents that root the building in its cultural context.
