High school, Modern architecture high school in Wohlen, Switzerland
The Kantonsschule features innovative architectural elements with angular roofs, extensive glass surfaces, and open spaces designed to maximize natural light throughout the building complex.
Architects Santiago Calatrava and Adrian Meyer collaborated on this educational facility, which opened its doors to students in 1988 following a regional architectural competition.
The building holds class B Swiss cultural property status, integrating modern architectural principles while serving as a central educational institution for the Canton of Aargau region.
Located at Allmendstrasse 26, the school contains specialized music facilities, a library with a concrete shell roof, and an assembly hall supported by parabolic arches.
The entrance displays a steel tubular arch spanning 20 meters that supports a canopy, connecting to glazed facades shaped like intersecting geometric cones.
