Built in the 1960s in Vorarlberg, Austria, the school has been extended at a number of points. The solid tract that linked the two classroom blocks has been replaced by a transparent entrance hall. A third storey has been ­added to the classroom buildings, and these have been extended to interlock with the entrance tract. The perforated slabs in front of the glazed facade of this tract create a play of light and shadow internally, while at night, the ­facade is suffused with a bright glow. The classroom blocks, clad with anthracite-grey slabs, are contrasted with the lighter volume of the new gymnasium. The latter is sunk partly into the ground, so that all one sees of it is the attic ­level with its photovoltaic installation, which seems to float above the glazed facade.
