VTV.vn - A Zurich-based architecture firm has designed a school with a rooftop covered in solar panels.

The self-sufficient solar-powered school, located in Switzerland, produces enough solar energy to also power 50 homes.

The school has around 1,100 solar panels with the buildings connected with a zigzag roof. The building was made by using sustainably sourced tinder and wood. The self-sufficient school covers an area of more than 180,000 square feet.

According to DesignBoom, the ground floor would be spacious enough to conduct different learning activities for children.
