ProcedureApplication procedure

Construction of a new school complex consisting of a primary school, secondary school and sports hall. The ensemble’s expansive and striking comb-shaped layout creates an urban anchor in a sprawling environment, while the building assumes the scale of the adjacent prefabricated buildings on the edge of the eastern Berlin district of Hohenschönhausen. The elongated volume of the school creates an urban threshold to the neighbouring suburban landscape.
