Gymnasium
„The new sports hall of the Benedictine monastic community was opened in Pannonhalma in autumn 2014. Originally built in 1942, the boarding school has acquired its present-day design as an organic continuation of the old complex of the abbey. In 2007, almost 70 years after the foundation of the school, Robert Gutowski Architects was commissioned to design the new gymnasium of the school. As the area is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, taking due care was a priority. The building itself is strictly functional and has been sunk into the steep terrain which seems to be a great geothermic solution, whilst leaving the view of the Bakony Hills undisturbed. Rationalism prevailed without fail as far as the functional configuration is concerned which has been designed to be perfectly clear and transparent, much in the same way as it defines the static system of the building and the intelligent combination of natural and artificial engineering technologies."
