The winning design of a new school in Stara Boleslav is based on a flexible approach that will allow the school to evolve in the future according to current needs. The building with its green atria opens to views of local dominants. The school will accommodate up to 900 students from sixteen municipalities and will be funded by the municipalities themselves, which are due to the small number of inhabitants unable to build a school on their own.

The architects have integrated its linear, low-rise structure into the surrounding buildings and complemented by vertical green at... More
