BUILDING TYPE:
Buildings for education

This extension of three classrooms to a school for special education ha s been done linearly. Box-like roof constructions allow indirect light penetration of the classrooms, thus softening the geometric severity of the plan. In a lower, enclosed strip between classrooms are the toilets. A billowing, curved glazed corridor joins this addition to the existing school.
