The first stairway right from the entrance leads to the podium, the second – to the second floor and the third – to the third. Such fracture zone, which looks like a reflection of one element in a broken glass, makes the space delaminate and leads to the appearance of new perspectives. object Evangelisches Gymnasium Bad Marien- berg | place Bad Marienberg, Germany | contest 2005 | end of construction 2007 | building owner Evangelisches Gymnasium Bad Marienberg | architects 4a Architekten | total area 8490 м 2 | space 33115 м 3
