Located in the heart of the historic center of Saint Pons de Thomières, the Jacques Brel Technical High School is undergoing a transformation thanks to a new architectural project that combines modernity with respect for local heritage. Designed to foster students' growth and learning, particularly in the fields of locksmithing, metalworking, and mechanics, this new building serves as a model of eco-construction and harmonious integration into a dense urban environment.
The project, situated in an exceptional yet complex setting, leverages the surrounding heritage while addressing the challenges posed by the site's density and topography. This new learning space is tailored to current educational and environmental needs, optimizing spaces while adhering to the constraints of managing construction on an occupied site. The architecture establishes a subtle dialogue between tradition and modernity. With its clean lines and mineral-toned facades, the building seamlessly integrates into the urban fabric while standing out from the surrounding constructions. The simplicity of its forms and the use of sustainable materials, such as concrete and wood, imbue the structure with both robustness and harmony with its environment.
The organization of spaces has been carefully planned to simplify circulation and maximize natural lighting, with particular attention paid to light and the clarity of the different levels. This design optimizes land use and meets educational requirements while providing a pleasant environment for both students and teachers.
Decisively forward-looking, this collaborative project transforms architecture into a powerful tool for learning and well-being.
