In the district of les Lochères, rehabilitation and
extension of the school group Saint-Exupéry is an urban real issue. Its success depends on new links guarantor
of new practices and an image upgraded the site. This, beyond its functional aspects must
ensure:
- His presence as a key element in the life of the
neighborhood with a new visibility.
- The redefinition of outdoor spaces to better connect with
its immediate environment
- Re-registration of its architectural heritage through the use of
innovative techniques
The Urban Plan provides reference to the East, after partial
demolition of the building Marivaux, the
extension of Descartes's Walk. Since the North-South axis, we
propose pedestrian crossing between East and West to serve the
new school complex. The path from Beaumarchais Avenue, an actual profile from the city due to the presence of a new timber
building. This 2 stories construction consists on a new nursery school and recreation center, while
the existing building, built by B. Lafaille on Jean Prouvé's building system, is rehabilitated to
receive the two elementary schools.
In the West, a generous forecourt, which we call "Court School"
begins on the driveway Beaumarchaisand lead to Descartes pathway
True "backbone" of the project, it gives direct access
to the hall of the nursery school and then to playgrounds of elementary schools as well as all local
shared.
