The new education building for ‘GARP Bildungszentrum’ - an Education Centre for metal-working professions - is embedded in a beautiful landscape setting at the periphery of Nürtingen and works as an addition to the existing school campus of the adjacent Rudolf-Steiner-Walddorfschule and the Hölderlin-Gymnasium. The project proposes a single storey solitaire that demonstrates strong connections to the surrounding landscape.

The typology of a very horizontal pavilion in combination with an inner courtyard provides a high level of spatial quality, informal communication and strong visual as well as physical connections to the open landscape. The new school building comprises a series of seminar rooms, communicative open learning areas and a metal education workshop.

Views into and through the building is a consistent architectural principle, that connects areas for theory and practice and allows inside activities to be read and projected outside the building via an ambivalent metal glass facade.
