PAN ARCHITECTURE has delivered a modular extension to Marseille’s Architecture School. By offering evolving work space, the project has drawn on an effective industrialized construction process as an answer to considerable regulatory and budgetary constraints. Turned towards seeking programmatic and technical simplification, and a rationalization of architectural choices, PAN Architecture has used this project to demonstrate its ability to instill strong architectural ambition into a very constrictive setting.
Building one of its first building in an architectural school is a risky business, especially when its architects were sitting on its benches just a few years previously. It was a matter of doing a prefab, temporary and inexpensive building in a process of design and realization. How could it be made more than just a plain, prefabricated bungalow? How could it find a place in the architectural whole of the ENSA-M? What architectural values could be given to this building to be worthy of welcoming architecture students? Behind these questions lay the heavy technical and regulatory issues due to the site's very strict regulations (in a high-risk fire zone, a venue subject to the ABF codes, its location next to the Parc National des Calanques, etc.) that made it almost impossible to build a light industrial building at €1,200 per sq. m.
«This work on matter connected to the treatment of the surroundings highlights the ordinary architectural construction process made of industrialized modules at the expense of preconceived and standardized generic modular architecture. We feel that the architectural interest lies in the educational nature of this small
building that exists because of its simplicity, a demand for detail and the veracity of its materials.»
