floor, a neutral white tone with pale-green highlights creates a friendly, businesslike atmosphere. The flooring
changes, too, from asphalt to carpeting - again with inlaid strips. The top three storeys, where the graphic artists
and copywriters work, are distinguished by their restrained coloration, although this varies from floor to floor,
lending each level its own distinct identity. All walls and soffits were clad with plasterboard, which was given
at least two undercoats of white acrylic paint to bring out the full colour and create a velvety finish.
School Building in Zurich
The school complex comprised a central tract built in 1865 and two adjoining gymnasiums dating from
1916 and 1973. Compact extension structures were added to the 1970s hall, doubling the teaching space of the
main building. The internal organisation is based on urban planning models: the new central space is conceived
as a forum and the heart of the complex, about which staircases and corridors are laid out in the form of streets
that widen to forecourts in front of the classrooms. The boundaries between public and private space in this city
within a city are delineated by colour and light. The calm design of the teaching rooms in white and grey is
contrasted with the bright colours of the circulation spaces - in pink, orange, yellow and blue. This concept,
which lends the building a special identity, reaches its climax in the central hall. With the aim of creating a
unity of colour and architecture, the architects and the artist responsible for the project sought to design a picto-
rial world for children. To achieve the expressive force of painting, the colours were built up in layers, bringing
out not only the material qualities of the concrete and the irregularities of the shuttering, but the brushwork as
well. The concrete was not uniformly coloured; traditional Lascaux materials were applied on a white ground.
The tonal quality is accentuated by the effect of daylight, which enters via the numerous roof lights.
