Multipurpose Hall

The multi-purpose hall in Vrin, which is considered one of the most famous works of the local architect Gion A. Caminada, was created in close collaboration with the civil engineer Jürg Conzett. In the 1980s and 1990s several renewals and extensions of schools were created in many remote villages of the Grisons. The multi-purpose hall in Vrin is not the only case in which the architect was able to achieve national recognition by such a renewal. La sala multiusos de Vrin, considerada una de las obras más famosas del arquitecto local Gion A. Caminada, fue creada en estrecha colaboración con el ingeniero civil Jürg Conzett. En los años 80 y 90 se crearon varias renovaciones y ampliaciones de escuelas en muchos pueblos remotos de los Grisones. La sala polivalente de Vrin no es el único caso en el que el arquitecto pudo lograr el reconocimiento nacional gracias a dicha renovación. The first classrooms in the remote village of Vrin were built in 1857 and 1901–1902. The schoolhouse, which was also later renovated by Gion A. Caminada, dates back to 1963. This building, which is one of the few public spaces in the small community, was extended by Gion A. Caminada with the multipurpose hall. The existing building, which is located in an exceptionally beautiful spot in the center, does not do justice to this place. Situated on a topographic terrace close to a steep slope, the site benefits from an extraordinary view. The image of Vrin is dominated by the school and the church, as they are the largest buildings in the village. The arrangement of an additional, relatively large volume was one of the difficulties to be solved. Las primeras aulas de la remota aldea de Vrin se construyeron en 1857 y en 1901-1902. La escuela, que también fue renovada posteriormente por Gion A. Caminada, data de 1963. Este edificio, que es uno de los pocos espacios públicos de la pequeña comunidad, fue ampliado por Gion A. Caminada con el salón multiusos.
