Istituto Marangoni Paris
Istituto Marangoni, the celebrated Italian fashion and design school, has a new campus in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. Located at the intersection of rue de Lübeck and rue Boissière, the “Paris School of Fashion” was designed by Paris-based Clément Blanchet Architecture. The project involved the adaptive transformation of a 19th century building and the addition of a contemporary extension. This resulted in the construction of 1,500 square metres of new classrooms, auditoriums, meeting rooms, and office space, spanning five storeys.

This is achieved via a new window whose square dimension is taken up in the opening of the two existing load-bearing walls

The new livestock market and service center were born from the strong relation with the local tradition and economy: they are a new urban space inside the historical center of Carmagnola.

The project’s purpose is the regeneration of the foro boario, a 1400 sqm building in which, in the past, the livestock market was hosted and, nowadays, it is partially abandoned. The citizen demanded for its renovation, asking for the reorganization of the area through the creation of a community center.
