Stengård School in Gladsaxe

Stengård School in Gladsaxe was designed in 1942 during the war with an architecture that took into account the lack of materials and the detached house area in which the school was to be located. Vilhelm Lauritzen therefore used local materials such as brick and wood for the low buildings, which were built with displacements between the connected building bodies, inspired by the Swiss Bauhaus architect Hannes Meyer's school in Bernau from 1927. The lack of materials was also the main reason why the school was only completed in 1952 – ten years after the building was designed.
