Teaching block at Zittau College--Sculptural yet functional

摘要

The two building wings were designed by the Berlin architects Tillman Bock and Norbert Sachs. On the south side, two staircases are cut into the building, demonstrating that grey walls can produce an impressive effect of depth and colour. The staircases are constructed entirely from galvanized steel sections and are connected by brackets with the carcass, which takes the form of a solid reinforced concrete structure.
