Nuuk School (Atuarfik Inussuk), Nuuk, Greenland
2026
Nuuk School, also known as Atuarfik Inussuk, is a landmark educational complex designed for 1,200 students and 120 children in daycare.
The architecture of Nuuk's new school does not only provide an optimal setting for learning, it is also designed to make the school a gathering place in the city.
The architectural expression is inspired by the ubiquitous Greenlandic nature. The building's roofs are shaped after the rocky landscape and appear silhouetted against the sky, like the contours of the mountains."
