We are pleased to quote from the laudation, which also explicitly mentions the supporting structure. «The building consists of prefabricated columns, beams and hollow concrete planks. The structure had to be as light as possible because the entire school – with classrooms, day care, assembly hall, offices and library – stands on 2-metre-high concrete beams of a gymnasium dug into the ground. Where the gallery widens into a two-storey space, light falls down and the athletes can see the crowns of the street trees high above. The Guggach school complex in Zurich is cleverly organised and sensitively designed. The atrium is an impressive spatial invention that nobody had ordered.»
