Ateliers O-S Architectes restructure an obsolete school building in a suburb of Paris

March 22, 2023 by bp_heights_dbuw21w3

Paris-based Ateliers O-S Architectes have restructured an inefficient asbestos-ridden catering building, which is part of the Frédéric Joliot-Curie high school in the town of Dammarie-les-Lys. The updated 1960s building opens up a view of the forest from a 1,200-capacity dining room, and a large ‘roof’ volume brings in light through lateral windows while forming a generous canopy under which pupils can gather.
