The green school was projected to raise people’s awareness of the meaning of the biological variety and the importance of their sustainment. This project is a prototype of an educational institution that turns the attention especially on young people.
The structure is located in the botanical garden of the johannes gutenberg university in mainz.
The geometry is based on a seedling that turns up its head out of the ground.
White fiber cement boards are covering the facade and act like a screen for changing shadow-motives. The interior lives up to that theme in a more expressive way.

Beautiful, I love the idea of going to school in a garden, and the building itself being so informed by the ecology. Can architecture itself create biodiversity?
Nice project, but 400.000 E for this small building… what happens in economic…
I subscribe to the above comment, the price is not meeting the expectations / size.
