Fantastic minimalist modern school constructed as part of a bridge between two castles in a historic town. The form is unashamedly modern, as is the overt use of steel, but the subtle and sophisticated, warm (figuratively speaking) use of timber makes the building fit in beautifully in its context.
I'm pleased to see that the steelwork is all painted black, which makes it kind of disappear in that it doesn't draw attention to itself. All those designers that like to use colour in the metalwork in their urban spaces take note.
