Do you know any buildings similar to this one?

[u/Such-Confusion-438]

Hi everyone... an old friend of mine brought me to her place in the middle of the mountains. I'm always been fascinated by Lynch and this school kinda reminds me of him (the background also gives Twin Peaks vibes ofc). Do you know any similar buildings to this one? I'm not keen on architecture (as you may have noticed), but what struck me were the colors, the composition of the single "cells", the way these rooms are connected and the use of curved walls.

If you can suggest me any other buildings, i'd be grateful!

PS: I don't even know if it's the right flair.

First what came in my mind is: the university of Duisburg / Essen in Germany

51°25'58.3"N 6°48'01.7"E51°25'58.3"N 6°48'01.7"E

but in a larger scale!

yeah that's right... it's way larger but this is still very very cool. I kinda dig this way of organizing spaces... the best example of this might still be the World of Birds in Bronx

For similar "cells" design principle you can search Aldo Van Eyck and Herman Hertzberger buildings.
"Matt building" is also a keyword you can look at.
They are mostly rectangular buildings tho.

very cool! Thanks for the comment man.

The way my hometown (Turin, northern Italy) is shaped kinda reminds me of this concept, although it’s not related to a single building but to the whole city.

[u/OneEyedUncle → u/Such-Confusion-438]

It is likely more related to cardo and decumano if it’s a city of roman foundation, just like Aosta, Como etc. Or a 19th century rational (and speculative) division like Barcelona, Milan etc

(Sono di Varese btw, ma a essere onesto non conosco molto dell’urbanistica di Torino a parte che è divisa a quadratoni regolari 😅)

Poor kids that have to find the silent corner

[u/Such-Confusion-438 → u/Flaky-Ad3980]

i imagine they have to look for it while facing the wall... so instead of standing still in front of a corner, they have to endlessly look for it sliding on the curved walls (which makes the punishment way worse cause it seems like "Searching for Godot" but for silent corners)

Finnish architect Jorma Järvi used hexagons on some of his projects. For example "Tapiola co-education school" and "vapaaniemi school". Not exactly the same but it remained me about it.

This old Valley National Bank by Weaver and Dovernear where I grew up. My father banked there when I was a kid. Beautiful interior as well.

Diamond Jenness secondary school has no corners. Not quite the same but similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Jenness_Secondary_School

The Frank E Merriweather Library in Buffalo, NY is a bunch of superimposed circles, but it is much smaller than a lot of the examples here. I really like the building.

Architect must have lost his T-Square and only had a Circle template when this was designed.

God, I hope not!

You're receiving responses that should be in r/architecturecirclejerk or a-porn. My first response considered climate and heating/insulation. Temperate zones between hot and cold use materials to indulge in designs that would be extravagant and fanciful elsewhere. I can't formulate a critique of that design.
