    A school on the waterfront in Alexandria
    Kieschke, Rainer Paul Kurt (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
    Task of this thesis is the design of a school as a public place fully integrated in a small city. The concerns of the architect are on the one hand to set the school in a harmonious relationship to the other functions of the town. The inner structure of the building reflects this in being a “harmonious part” to the whole environment. On the other hand, determined by the site at the waterfront, the architecture gets its resources from the threshold of land and water.
