renewal and extension of the german school of lisbon (2003 - 2007)
competition with pre-selection – 1st place.
Two new bodies - the primary school and the gymnasium - discretely complete the existing set. On the southern side, the volume of the primary school, over two levels and partially buried, defines the limit of the school adjoining the 2nd belt highway and operates as an acoustic barrier that protects the school from the noise generated by this highway. On the northern side, the pure volume of the gymnasium blends with the existing auditorium building, redrawing the entrance square of the school.
