International High School East of Paris in Noisy-le-Grand, France by Ateliers 2/3/4/August 25th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: v2com A high school is like a small estate made up of work, recreation, leisure, encounter and shared places. The access as streets, squares provides perspectives that give life to the estate. The new International High School project east of Paris, planned within this urban context, is located within an exceptional site distinguished by three scales of landscape:  Image Courtesy © Luc Boegly

The idea to raise the volume creates a horizontal frame that emerged just as the development of a sequenced, view point entrance overlooking Greater Paris.

The intention was to develop an imposing volume, a cube devoid of any stylistic intent, stable within the perspective. The immediate landscape of a planted steep slope. With landscaped terraces, the introspective high school found its place attached to the functions shared with the boarding school (dining, sports hall,…).

Made to measure, each project is the opportunity for a study that makes it unique whether in terms of sustainable development, typology or construction system.

Like clothes, their envelopes protect without restricting movement. Like a landscape, they change over time. Even before the selection of construction materials, 2/3/4/ favours the only readily available raw material: light. 2/3/4/ believes “density” is the major component of the city.
