| Discussion | Olivetti Training School Commentary
“To convert a 42-acre estate to a training center, the Olivetti corporation renovated a turn of the century ‘Tudorbethan’ manor house to a residence for students and added a teaching wing. “Two wings of classrooms, one for technicians and one for salesmen, follow the ground contours at the edge of the woods to facilitate planned extension and preserve adjacent trees. The siting splays the wings at slightly less than thirty degrees to each other. A ‘glazed link’ from the house extends between and joins the wings. To one side of the hall at the confluence of the wings and link is a ‘multi-space’—an ‘all-purpose-everything auditorium.” — James Stirling Michael Wilford and Associates. James Stirling, Buildings and Projects. p143. | |
