The Arcade, a triple height circulation space. Regent High School, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Walters and Cohen Ltd, 201

---

Regent High School is a co-educational secondary school on a tight urban site in Somers Town in the London Borough of Camden. The design supports a wide variety of teaching and learning methods to suit the 1,300 students.  Traditional classrooms are grouped around flexible home bases, encouraging interactive, personal and collaborative working. At the heart of the school is the Arcade, a triple height circulation space linking new and existing elements of the campus. The school's specialism of the creative arts is promoted with a state-of-the-art theatre, which helps regenerate the north end of Chalton Street. The colourful fins add a cheerful façade to the courtyard garden and are based on a music-to-colour synesthesia of the song composition Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven.
