Fire Escape at Ziersdorf Elementary School

The design for the fire escape at the Ziersdorf Elementary School is the first public art project by the artist Ines Hochgerner. This is even more remarkable because the project was complex and posed many artistic challenges – like the building’s statics, school standards, and security regulations. The artist found a complex solution that meets all of these requirements. This solution integrates the function and requirements of a fire escape while also taking a playful approach. Ines Hochgerner's formal solution integrated the medium of drawing with the stylistic element of abstraction.
