EXPRESSIONISTIC SHAPES

The Katsumata Centre at Kardinia International College was created as a tribute to the founder of the school and renowned educational advocate, Yoshimaro Katsumata. The external form of the main volume was developed by taking a Modernist derived grid; the unique façade creates a striking, dynamic effect. This logic was developed further within the facetted glass and ALUCOBOND® clad façade to reinterpret formal Modernist building language into a contemporary shape and a light-flooded interior space. Whilst the strange, expressionistic shape nof the building might not be appropriate for an elderly day center, it is perfect for a high school, a place filled with young, modern aspiring people. The architectural approac was to create a building to serve as a sport ing facility and a full performing arts theatre – without compromising functionality. The architects have correlated the exterior design with the interior atmosphere; the same irregular shapes and dynamic attributes can be found inside. The design allows event organisers to transform the interior from a sports stadium into a fully functional theatre seating 1200 people in less than 15 minutes by means of mechanized daylight control, programmable lighting controls and an automated retractable seating system. The ensemble incorporates a combination of sustainable strategies to minimize its carbon footprint, including censor controlled lighting, water collection, storage and an energysaving façade system with ALUCOBOND spectra cladding.
