Smithdon High School (formerly known as Hunstanton Secondary Modern School) is a comprehensive school in Hunstanton, Norfolk. Designed by the architects Peter and Alison Smithson and completed in 1954, the school was immediately acclaimed by the architectural critics. However, its stark and uncompromising design, particularly the large expanses of glass (inspired by the work of Mies van der Rohe) caused some practical problems with heating and cooling, and this has since been modified by the addition of black panels in place of glass. ==Architectural history== Hunstanton School was one of the most popular works by the Smithsons. Known locally as 'the glasshouse', the school was strikingly modern in many ways, most notably in its extensive use of glass and steel, and the unusual free-standing water tower. The school main building is now officially a Grade II * listed building due to its groundbreaking architectural style.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Name: SMITHDON SCHOOL INCLUDING MAIN BLOCK WATER TOWER WORKSHOPS AND KITCHENS List entry Number: 1077909 )〕 The school Gymnasium is separately grade II * listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Name: GYMNASIUM AT SMITHDON SCHOOL List entry Number: 1342261 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Smithdon High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
