The project of the Joséphine Baker School in PANTIN is part of a general reflection on the Quatre Chemins district. As key facilities, through its architectural language and its use, it offers a new dynamic, a new urban reading to its users.
Three parallel one-storey buildings are arranged perpendicularly to Denis-Papin street. They are each covered with a floating roof. This wooden and zinc structure, slightly curved, overhangs widely. The interstitial air captured under this roof feeds a regulated network of natural ventilation. The comb-like organisation of the buildings optimises the flow of natural light into the heart of the project.
