Cornebarrieu School Complex / Duncan Lewis Scape Architecture

Cornebarrieu School is probably one of the first schools in France answering to the current problem of climatic changes in the world. Its sustainable construction focuses on ecological, social, and economic issues of a building, within the context of a learning environement for children. Here, rather than talking about a single building, we are developping architecture as an environment.

Jean Moulin High School / Duncan Lewis Scape Architecture

Cristobal Rojas — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 09:30:00 +0000

The city of Revin is nestled in the meanders of the river Meuse, surrounded by forest, steep hills and gentle slopes. The Cite Scolaire Jean Moulin was built at the dawn of the 60s, it was designed in an orthogonal configuration of three levels, in line with the Modern style, in the era of the rationalist. Half a century later time has taken its toll and the aging of both building and equipment has made its reconstruction necessary. Especially since teaching methods and technology have progressed considerably, and the “wonder” material asbestos has been proven to cause harm. On July 14^th 2010 a violent gust of wind removed the roof of Jean Moulin secondary school, a few months later 50cm of snow fell in a few hours. In 2007, the region launched a competition for the redevelopment of the school.

The Community House is located in the district of Peristyle, along the lakeside promenade, the prow of the new development. Facing the harbor, the building radiates and identifies the territory. Her bluish skin evokes the maritime environment and reflects the history and foundations of Lorient territory on the place of establishment of the East India Company.
