  • The school complex is grouped around a central courtyard, from which the wings, each designed differently, radiate. The plan enables the simple extension of the segments and is meant to function as a small city, concentrated in a single building complex. Students did not fully accept the school, reports indicating that the large exposed concrete volumes somewhat had the feel of a prison about them.

  • In use, many changes made through the years, exposed concrete painted white / colored, in part false ceilings inserted, window openings partially covered over. The sports hall is the only section largely in its original state.
