The objective is to fundamentally change the image of the school group.
We propose a spatial organisation based on user comfort.
It places the children at the heart of the project by offering them a privileged place of learning.
On an urban scale, the Place de l'Enfance is being redesigned to become a new public space that structures the neighbourhood.
The urban facade which affirms both the coherence of the school group as an entity in its own right, and the functional independence of each entity.
The project is unified by the roof of the first floor and the autonomy of the three establishments is expressed by the vertical emergences of the restructured buildings.
Each volume has its own function: to the east the nursery school, to the west the primary schools and in the central part the two leisure centres and the common programmes.
The load-bearing structures and light wood-frame facades meet the requirements of a low-nuisance construction site on an occupied site. This principle is based on prefabrication in the factory and rapid and silent assembly in situ. The light facade complexes naturally combine high thermal performance, acoustic quality and air tightness to meet the requirements of a low energy building.
Our proposal, by the very nature of its flexible and modular geometry, adapts to changes in the programme while maintaining the spirit of the original concept. It is an additional guarantee of the durability of the project.
