7 We all spent a large portion of our childhood and adolescence at school, and know how much the appearance and functionality of the classrooms, labs, gyms, and libraries affected our education. School and university buildings are essential to students’ lives, and society has a duty to invest in maintaining and improving them. As well as basic safety and functionality— the right size of classrooms, lighting, heating and air conditioning, and modern technology —contemporary school architecture require a number of other attributes. There need to be flexible, modular rooms, scope for a mixture of classroom-based and open-air activities, an optimal use of green spaces, close links with the community, and a focus on sustainable and recyclable materials. And throughout it all, beauty should be seen as a fundamental part of the design, not just simple decoration or even as something optional. With its exceptional physical properties and range of finishes, from the bright grey of the natural rolled metal to the coloured versions in the «The Color Line» range, zintek® fits the bill perfectly.
