Text description provided by the architects. In French the word “préau” refers to an exterior covered space, but unlike our definition of covered / coverage, which may represent an isolated and independent element, the “préau” defines an element closely linked with existing building, defining a stronger relationship of dependence and cooperation. It is usually a space of great importance in the school's design in France, which may be translated as "the covered part of the playground". Adverse weather conditions in many French cities led to the adoption of this typology in which students can leave the indoor space but still have a place where they are protected.
