Alice Guy public school
The project respects the new urban structure with the alignment of the facade of the multipurpose room to the west of the plot while aligning with the two existing buildings (troop and infirmary) to the East, parallel to the surrounding wall. The use of the topography to the benefit of the program allows for a facility where all the rooms are on the same level with their courtyards.
The project is organised according to 3 main programmatic entities linked by the central hall, thus guaranteeing better adaptability during transition times (morning / noon / evening) and the possibility of varied organisation according to the teaching / operation set up by the teaching teams.
On the low ground floor and organised around its playground, the preschool offers rooms served by a central corridor of large dimensions and benefiting from natural light provided by openings onto the yard. The break rooms are positioned at the end of the layout, benefiting from natural light and ventilation in the upper part of the rooms, behind the mashrabiya of the facade. The sanitary and technical rooms are spread over the length of the preschool in order to limit travel.
Two preschool classes are close to the vertical circulation of the hall leading to the high ground floor and to the elementary courtyard. They can thus be used by the elementary without disturbing the operation of the preschool.
On the upper ground floor, the elementary school operates on the same principle of naturally lightened central circulation. This overlooks the double height of the hall and the courtyard of the elementary courtyard.
The grid pattern of the rooms allows for maximum evolution of the
organisation to accompany future developments in educational projects, an evolution that could be continued by an extension on the surface of the courtyard.
The multi-purpose room is accessible from the courtyard and benefits from a very protected circulation (sheltered from the rain and wind). Its dissociation from the «body» of the elementary building makes it possible to envisage a real use shared with the neighborhood without nuisance, while allowing a volumetric decomposition making the link with the residential fabric of the Saint Donatien neighborhood.
這個項目尊重並考量新的城市結構，將多功能室的立面與基地西側對齊，並和現有兩棟建築物（軍隊和醫務室）的東側平行與周圍牆面對齊。這樣的設計，有利於建築物融入這個環境，利用地形，使得所有空間都在一個水平面上，同時皆有個前院。此項目的主要設計特點，即由中間的大廳為核心，依照三個功能單位規劃，從而確保休息時段（例：早上/中午/下課後）有更高的靈活性，根據教學課程時間/配合運作方式的使用與彈性，進一步提高教育機構的運作需求。
規劃在低層的幼兒園，將各功能的空間設計圍繞著操場，透過大型中央走廊提供使用上的需求，藉由開向庭園的門，使得自然光線來自門口前庭院。休息室則規劃在末端，而交織透風的牆面，從而獲得自然光線和通風。為了幼兒園的管理，洗手間及醫務室規劃在幼兒園的不同位置，在需要使用這些空間時，便無需走的太遠。
幼兒園兩間教室的位置靠近大廳的垂直廊道，通往樓上及小學庭院，此規劃能同時提供給小學使用，並且不會干擾幼兒園的運作。樓上的小學同樣利用了中間廊道的自然透光原則，在這裡能以兩層高度俯瞰大廳及小學的庭院。教室的網式設計，可以大規模的彈性配合未來教育發展和需要，並且透過庭院空間的延伸擴建實現這個可能性，以進一步擴大教育空間和功能。多功能室可從庭院進入，透過設計不會受到風和雨的影響。它與小學建築物的主建物分開，提供社區共享且可以真正使用而不受干擾，與聖多納蒂安社區的住宅結構相連，同時還可以實現空間獨立。
