Fjærland School

Beside the old school, not instead.

The 1962 school stays. It is a good, low, white building and the village is fond of it. The new school goes in the field beside it, around a small court, with the birches left where they are. We staked every tree before we drew a line.

At 1 140 square metres it is the largest sheet in this set, and it is still in design. The photograph is the site as it stands: a field, a fjord and a glacier that has been retreating since before the school was built.
