The preferences which pupils had come up with were developed into an espionage story, which served as a basis for designing the inaccessible spacious corridor area. In correspondence to the guiding principle of the special sports school at one of Berlin’s hotspots, Moabit, that is „language and movement“, the area was converted into a leisure zone fostering „explorative learning“. The new architecture with its acoustic and visual spatial phenomena allows children to make serious scientific observations in a playful way. They can make use of high-quality communication, exercising and research spaces to varying degrees. For instance, they can get an idea of how a periscope works, explore the colour spectrum or even invent reflexion codes in order to communicate with other children.
