Water Worlds     The Galileo School and the Liebmann School for the Speech Impaired share a building designed by the architect Gino Valle for the 1984/87 IBA (International Building Exhibition). Together with the Baupiloten, pupils from both schools developed the Water Worlds project, thematically transforming the building’s different levels into green for deep sea, red for reef and blue for the water’s surface. Pictures created by the children were graphically rendered, enlarged, and placed within the new lounge corners installed in the school’s hallways. Additionally, the Baupiloten have also developed sound absorbing elements and light displays with which the children can playfully “reclaim” their school.

Start of Planning October 2006, Completion December 2008
