After its sixty anniversary (and in spite of the fact that its architecture was left unprotected till the early 90s), the Secondary Modern School in Hunstanton by A+P Smithson remains as a perfect example of modernity in its own photogenic appearance. From the very moment it was built (1949-1953) till now, the dialectics formulated by its skin has been able to integrate into the landscape, as well as reconcile the functionality of their teaching program with it. The success of the language used in its different facades lies in the compositional rigor of mathematics taken to the extreme. The repetition as a projectual mechanism –both its constructive elements and the few necessary detail– makes this architecture an abstract entity, allowing dematerialize the perception of its large size. At the same time, each facade shares the ambiguity which is implied in combining simultaneously the visual permeability and the reflexes which are able to camouflage the interior. Variables as “velocity” and “approach” with which the covering is perceived –both from the inside and from the outside– make possible a game of gazes from this duality that resembles the facade elements as a “cinematographic frame”. Consequently, and placing this in the context of the inauguration of the building, Secondary Modern School in Hunstanton reminds the Free Cinema Movement.
