As a public institution, the school fundamentally assumes this role, along with the public space and landscape it generates. The school is set back as far as possible from Rue du Midi. With no perimeter fence, it opens onto the neighborhood. In response to the heterogeneous architecture of the neighborhood, the school adopts a composed language, carried by strong horizontal lines. Roof structures and deep eaves cap the building, wrapping it into a homogeneous whole. Between these "roof planes," the façades feature a discreet metal cladding, punctured by large openings. More occasionally, brick walls signal entrances and mark thresholds.
