The Thau School - Martorell/Bohigas/Mackay

“The Thau School by MBM...is organised around the concept of cubic geometry...The sloping site (provides) an opportunity to develop an interesting sequence of spatial connections. The core elements are joined by a set of externally placed wide steps shaped in the form of a small Greek theatre, which are in the cutaway profiles to the elevations of the two rectangular blocks, the main parts of which are faced in metal curtain-walling. The school has 1,440 pupils and it divided into infants, junior and senior departments.”
