Livio Vacchini, Windisch, Switzerland, 2010

Scale: 1:100
Materials: acrylic, giluform
Type: structural
Detail: 5/7
Student: Charles Bordry, HS24

A 1:100 plaster study model of Livio Vacchini's Mülimatt Gymnasium depicting the building's defining row of inclined, triangular-section structural fins that form both roof and lateral wall. The fins are cast or hand-worked in plaster, while the long glazed facade is represented by a fine wire or scored-grid mesh panel set between the fin supports. A small white figure on the base gives human scale. The model foregrounds the structural-tectonic logic of the folded concrete frame system rather than interior layout or material finish.
