School can be as easy as this. With a support structure made of fair-faced concrete elements moved to the outside, the representative school building masters the task of 'transparency and cultural external representation' with flying colours. The German School in Geneva has now been awarded the best architects 10 prize for architecture. The task appears simple on paper. The space allocation plan encompasses a new school building with 25 classrooms and group rooms, an assembly hall, a refectory and a gymnasium. And yet far more than a conventional school building lies behind the German School in Geneva.
