Old Royal High School, a Grade A listed building, is a Neoclassical architecture designed by Thomas Hamilton. This building is located on the foot of Calton Hill facing Arthur’s Seat and could be easily accessed by walking down Princes Street. The Royal High School finished its construction in 1829 and was used as a high school until 1968. After that, the center hall of the building had been used as a debating chamber from 1968 to 1979 and then the whole building became empty until now. Facing this abandoned building, people provided a lot of possible reuse proposals with new functions such as the new Scottish Parliament, photography center or military museum. But none of these proposals adopted……
The renovation proposal of Old Royal High School to a music/dance school reflects the condition of the World Heritage Area development, the sensitive context of a historic building extension and the architecture language in contemporary and the past.
建筑式漫游
爱丁堡皇家高中(历史建筑)改造项目希望通过融汇传统和现代的建筑语言，回应世界遗产的场地需求和历史遗迹延展的敏感性。漫游的概念借于勒柯布西耶，通过空间的曲线集合，流线构成和材料的交叠构筑新旧空间浏览的完整流程。转化功能为当地的音乐舞蹈学院，包括教师，演奏厅和宿舍等分区。
The “Promenade” is represented continually in different scales from flowing massing, spatial rhythm to lightly structure system and material transparency.
