The project is based on a strong and shared concern for the rebuilding of the relationship between the built and the natural environment. The building had to develop a relationship with the landscape, one that would help merge them together. The main feature of the project is a green roof that helps to make a smooth transition between the built and natural environments, combining tall trees, bushes and “rock chaos”. The entire new high school offers an architecture that is both radically innovative in its reconciliation with nature, whilst also being in tune with the spirit of an age that is conscious of energy issues.
