ECOLE NATIONALE DES GARÇONS Adaptive Reuse, Rouen 2010
In response to a competition sponsored by the city, SA-Architects proposed to restore the church of the Ecole des Garcons, dating from the 18th century, and to reuse it as exhibition hall and a wooden mobile auditorium.
The idea was to create versatile modular spaces that could accommodate the various artistic and educational events planned without compromising the volumetry and architecture of the building.
