Alex de Rijke on Kingsdale School
In the current debate about the design of new schools, Kingsdale School makes a powerful case for creative architecture. It is the transformation of a 1960s building, in which De Rijke Marsh Morgan have created a new social and urban space in its centre, with light filtered through its subtle and beautiful roof made from ETFE pillows. It is the result of a pioneering initiative started by the Architecture Foundation, in which De Rijke Marsh Morgan worked with pupils, staff and governors to achieve a design responsive to their needs.
