Finn Thybo Andersen on Gladsaxe Continuation School
A portal has been created around the main building’s entrance. On either side is a column, consisting of six rectangular cement reliefs with floral motifs, placed above each other, with a circular relief on top.
Along the length of the building, approximately eighty circular cement reliefs are placed at the level of one meter. On the outside of the schoolyard is a corresponding number of similar reliefs.
Under a porch roof in the schoolyard, many smaller polychrome ceramic reliefs are mounted on the brick wall. They were made at a workshop for the school’s students.
