An old cold war barracks has in germany has been converted into a school.
major design features.
1 micron thickness solar pannels across 5000 square metres of roof.
the thinness of the pannels makes them semi translusent letting light flow into the building but also absorbing most of the heat.
The sidewalls have windows that open automatically to allow natural ventilation and fresh air to flow freely into the school. The construction has kept intact the original concrete floor and support beams of the 4,400 square meter building.
Classrooms are modular and highly insulated, and have climate control facilities. This reduces the energy load vastly. The newly opened school is the first in a project that will use the existing buildings located on the site to create a science and learning center.
