Georg Büchner Schule | Frankfurt (GER)

The new Georg Büchner School building in Frankfurt am Main expands the existing school ensemble of the Frankfurt comprehensive school in the Bockenheim district, providing space for central administration, specialized classrooms, and an auditorium. The freestanding structure is positioned among protected trees and stands out with its warm color scheme and sculptural quality, serving as a confident contrast to the diverse surrounding architecture. A spacious “city balcony” makes the auditorium, located on the “Beletage”, clearly recognizable as a semi-public gathering space. A central hall with a skylight houses the main staircase, which is freely integrated across multiple floors, reinforcing the building’s open and inviting character.
