Description
The stepped structure completes the existing urban
form. The design and the materialisation of the façade underline the public
character of the building. The setting naturally creates a school building with
a novel typology and well-defined, quality outdoor spaces. The nature of the
stepped levels combined with the overlap of the gymnasium form an excellent
starting point for the design and development of hall-like corridors and cascading
flights of stairs. The escape routes lead out over the rooftop gardens allowing
the indoor circulation areas to be used, decorated and furnished without
restriction.
