Portivechju, built on its promontory, developed for a long time around its historic center before opening up toward the sea. Its rampart—which serves as both a fortification and a living space—defines the town's layout and reflects a constant dialogue between topography and architecture.
Located at the foot of this rampart, the school embraces this same logic. Arranged across two terraces, it is structured by a wall that connects the different levels while adapting to the slope. This rampart-like form becomes the project's defining feature: through its shape, materials, and boldness, it extends the dialogue between history and landscape. The school thus emerges as a special place for passing on this heritage.

An inhabited terrace facing the great Balagne landscape - In Corbara, facing the Church of the Annunciation and the landscape of Balagne, the project chooses effacement rather than assertion. On this sensitive site, marked by the old village, the topography, and the symbolic presence of the church, the aim was not to add an architectural object, but to extend the ground, reveal the slope, and create continuity.
