1% of the architecture: new high school in France

We conceived this artistical project (concours 2004)  en relation to the architecture:      welcoming space and glass by uniting all the architectural elements in a single concept to offer a simple and fun work to experience.

The glass roof of the Louis Blanc college is defined: between interior and exterior between shell and Milky Way.
       
Project management: Conseil Général du Val de Marne      Project managers: Bernard Feraille et Alain Neymarc, architects

Glass  tames the light, a pearly screen where shadow, light, color arise.
The metal structure above the glass allows for sculpting light and shadow, bracing and access for maintenance.
Water may flow over the glass: gentle air conditioning or maintenance.
Color is present at three levels :
- posts, the only elements of tactile encounter with the schoolchildren.
- lighting, pure color integrated into the glass roof.
- clips glass fixing, backlit..
