Text description provided by the architects. As the first in Denmark, Silkeborg Folk High school offered “Nature and Outdoor life” as the main teaching subject and as the popularity of the subject continuously increased the school wanted to improve their teaching facilities. Therefore, the brief for the new educational building was to create a space that exudes nature and creates a close connection to the surrounding forest. Furthermore, a main priority for the school was to set new standards for sustainable building practice.
