Text description provided by the architects. Like the main building, the extension of the Fichte-Gymnasium forms part of the block-edge on Sophienstraße respecting the urban eaves line. The new building concept translates the motions and activities of the internal school activities into the layers and plasticity of the façade design. In the street façade, ribbon windows with coloured internal glazing interact with framed casement windows picking up and interpreting the theme of the perforated façades of the Wilhelminian buildings along the Sophienstraße. To this end, the façade is covered with a “glass skin”, smoothing its plasticity facing the public space.
