The central entrance and break hall of the new Oberstufenzentrum/ Bautechnik in Cottbus is an 11-meter-high air space. splash-dreiviertel is a divided cone of space that tapers to correspond to the trapezoidal footprint of the hall. It dynamizes the air space through its basic shape and their spatial arrangements.
A 45° segment is cut out of the basic matrix of the 8-part metal surface opening, which moves towards the upper space body as a space cone segment after a ¾ hour in fifteen minutes, thus completing the school lessons. The basic shape of the spatial work was inspired by Edgerton’s “milk drop series” created in ultra-high-speed photography – (an initially egg-shaped milk drop bursts into a crown shape when it hits a surface). splash-dreiviertel visualizes a drop of pause milk as a three-dimensional spatial form in motion.
