The project aims therefore to offer to the neighborhood children a school of particular architectural and environmental quality, comfortable and responds to the challenges and constraints of the site.The Volume of the building is an H typology that allows a rational response to the desired organization of the various entities forming the project, and equally offers the best orientation of the internal and external spaces, the classrooms benefiting from a South orientation which is ideal for teaching purposes.
