These drawings represent a retrospective engagement with the original design for the Heinz Galinski School in Berlin. They present expressive variations of both plans and elevations. It is one of the architect’s guiding principles to develop an idea through drawing in such a comprehensive manner that the studies of the building become simultaneously architectural investigations and autonomous graphic works.

The Heinz Galinski School was the first Jewish school built in Berlin after the Second World War and thus holds significant meaning for the city’s Jewish community. The design is based on the spiral form derived from the Fibonacci sequence, echoing the geometric organization of sunflower seeds. This is another example of how Hecker employed the same geometric form, the spiral, previously explored in projects such as the Ramat Hasharon City Centre and the Spiral Apartment House, to address a new architectural challenge. The spiral adapts to a different program and context, providing a precise structural framework that supports and generates the design.
