Bailly School complex, Saint Denis, France, 2006

The project is inspired by the remains of the industrial neighbourhood and its materials - glazed brick - and by the image of the shed roof. The classrooms are organised as thin strips in the north-south transverse which end on the firewall on the side of the railway, structured by horizontal circulations and interior gardens. The esplanade is extended in the building by interior streets, an inter-space area, to access both schools and the recreation centre.
