Drancy, France

Set in a dense urban context, the Simone de Beauvoir School is defined by its simple volume, mix of functions, and treatment of access points. Natural light plays a significant role in the project, guiding the children through the school, the circulation, and a double-height enclosed patio. The building has a light-colored facade, punctuated with large windows and vertical wooden slats, which are also used on the two elevation facades. The fixed wooden furniture is made to measure, giving the project a coherence to the wood’s soft and light shades found throughout the superstructure. #architizer #architizerawards #architectureawards #architizerawards2021 #aplusawards2021 #awesomepic #themepark#zoo#nationalpark
