Mentor: Helmut Dietrich Dipl. Ing. Architekt

This thesis focuses on the study of the interaction of materials and space and the transformation of a structure from concrete to timber construction system. In reference, a school designed by Architect Valerio Olgiati in Paspels, Switzerland was utilized for this project. The concrete building was selected for its spatial effect and the refined details of the concrete structure and for its architectural qualities to be used as a basis of research.
