SITE & PROGRAM In 2010, the town of Saint Germain lès Arpajon wants to acquire new equipment comprising a media library and a school of music and dance.
Replacing of existing School of dance/music and a public library
URBAN PLANNING The Project main access is located by Leuville road, at the top of the site. A new path, created along the school to connect the main road to the path Chemin du Roy, distributes an eventual project of nursery which could take place at the bottom of the site. The public building is holding onto the site via two compelling levels of the project ;
• A mineral square on the top (Leuville Road), • A vegetal square on the lower level (at the heart of the plot).
The project stands between a deliberately low high building towards the landscape and strong urban landmark.
