SCHOOL COMPLEX - Fontenay-le-Fleury | Carlo Grispello
Renovation and extension of René Descartes school complex in Fontenay-le-Fleury built in the 1960's for approximately 520 students. Fontenay-le-Fleury / France / 2018

All the existing opening were questioned with the aim of creating large openings to change the scale of the built mass vis-à-vis the neighboring buildings.
