The core building from the 1970s, with its extensions and additional stories, houses a 6-stream comprehensive school, accommodating approximately 1,500 people. The school's character was gradually transformed from a technically oriented facility, largely artificially lit and ventilated, dating from the era of 'technological optimism,' into an atmospheric space dedicated to human well-being. Sunlight and plants (bananas, lemons, figs, and mandarins grow here within the building), natural ventilation, and positive learning conditions have been implemented here, alongside a renovation that saves technical, structural, fire protection, and operating costs. The school holds international significance, both in terms of its usage activities and its architectural character, and represents a very special pilot project for our office. <\/p>\n","bilder":["2151","2152","2153","2150"],"bauherr":"City of Bornheim","bauzeit":"in various construction phases, each lasting 6 - 15 months","planungszeit":"initial concepts from 1991 to 2003","fertigstellung":"","gesamtbaukosten":"approx. \u20ac17 million","grundflaeche":"","rauminhalt":"","projektleitung":"Helmut Heuer, Gundolf Wermelskirchen, Leonidas Papadopoulos","wohnflaeche":"","leistungsphasen":"1 - 8","auszeichnung":""},"kategorie":[155],"class_list":["post-2937","projekte","type-projekte","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategorie-schools-and-education"],"yoast_head":"\n
