Finally the main school. This time there were no cars or people on the yard, no teenagers on the lot and no sound of people thrashing things. It was just me and this 1960’s beauty.
The main entrance. We had already taken a peek inside the last time, but now I was going to go in for real.
Already the first look inside revealed, that something was off.
I previously said of this hospital, that I’ve never seen a place so smashed. But that place didn’t have any furniture in it, when it was smashed. This place did, and this is worse. This one’s not even smashed, this one is an apocalypse.
What I love about the 1960’s architecture is the way they’ve made use of natural forms. The school was built on a hillside and it was beautifully visible inside.
A look back towards the main entrance. I was quite speechless by this destruction.
It wasn’t just that they had destroyed everything inside the school. They had even managed to punch holes in the concrete walls.
Even the roof had been penetrated.
The school as seen through one of the holes in the wall.
A slightly different angle.
For some reason I liked to look back this time. The apocalypse seems even more total from this angle. As if the black hole downstairs had just swallowed everything.
The great book on world history and my beautiful yellow boots.
The layout of the school was somewhat strange here. You could only enter the corridor to the left, although the building continued on both sides of the main entrance.
Behind the glass doors were narrow, dark corridors and light stairways. Not difficult to choose your path.
The wide main stairway kind of split in two here. This stairway led to the right towards the back of the school, the other one led to the left towards the front. I chose left.
