Escola Thau Barcelona, Private educational institution in Les Corts, Barcelona, Spain.
Escola Thau Barcelona is a school building in Pedralbes featuring spacious open areas with minimal walls and natural light flowing throughout. A specialized solar control system with movable blinds regulates the light and keeps the interior comfortable throughout the day.
The school was founded in 1963 and received the prestigious FAD architecture award in 1974 for its innovative design. The project came from the MBM Arquitectes firm, which created something that still stands apart from typical school buildings today.
The school was designed from its start as a place where different languages and cultures meet within the learning community. Visitors notice how the open spaces reflect this philosophy, encouraging people to move freely and interact with one another.
The building is located on Avenida Esplugues in the Pedralbes neighborhood, making it straightforward to find. Visiting is best during school hours from Monday through Friday when the facilities are in use and the space feels alive.
The building eliminates traditional classroom divisions and transforms hallways into learning spaces for technology and other subjects. This concept of a 'city inside school' lets students learn in different environments rather than staying in fixed rooms.
