Anne Frank Comprehensive School | Düren
Completion
With the completion of the outdoor facilities, a school campus has been created that naturally combines socialising, physical activity and outdoor learning. Existing trees worthy of preservation have been incorporated and complemented by new plantings. To the south, green, small-scale recreational areas characterise the landscape, deliberately creating a contrast to the open, refurbished existing school playground.
In front of the building, paved paths and square-like extensions create versatile ‘courtyards’ for outdoor lessons, performances and school events. The northern school playground has been comprehensively refurbished and visually linked to the new building areas through a graphic striped motif. This creates an open space that fosters a sense of identity, aids orientation and, at the same time, encourages informal play.
A new, spacious play area complements the existing facilities and creates further attractive spaces for pupils to be active.
