| CARNAL HALL |
| |
All generations of educators have no doubt asked themselves the same question: how can we prepare young people for the world that they will be called on to continue to build? The speed with which the information society’s needs continue to evolve does not make the answer easy, but my personal convictions have only strengthened over recent years: beyond traditional academic skills, artistic education is one of the keys for responding to the challenges of our time and for opening our minds to the new professions which will emerge over the coming decades.
So, we have chosen the project of a great Swiss architect. Dividing his time between Paris and New York, where he is a professor at Columbia University, Bernard Tschumi has understood our dream and has, with consummate talent, designed a cupola, an architectural form uniting simplicity, modernity and beauty – a dome under which the Rosey community will be brought together to create, to share and to meet.
The Carnal Hall centre will contain: an 800-seat auditorium for concerts, theatre and conferences; music teaching rooms, practice rooms for single instruments, choirs and an orchestra; art studios, workshops for sculpture, stage scenery and theatrical costume; a “black box” theatre; a teaching kitchen and dining room.
The whole will be an educational tool at the service of a non-specialist school, unique in Switzerland and possibly in Europe.
And the Carnal Hall will also provide a Learning Centre, bringing together adults and students: its users will be able to move between a café area with lively exchanges over pizzas soft and hot drinks to quieter lounges set aside for group work to lecture theatres and finally to a library for silent research and academic work. All these different spaces will be open, transparent and convivial, designed to inspire communication and reflection. A place where people will be happy to be together. |
