The project is also strongly influenced by its exemplary sustainable development approach and durability : built on a tight budget that is expressed in the explicit simplicity of its volumes. The in-depth work on energy and the elements (water/air/earth) makes it the first 'zero energy' high school in the Ile-de-France Region. © Luc BoeglyThis quality also precedes the work on the adjoining landscape, on the role of nature and planting in the high school. It contributes to the location of two appreciated gardens suspended overhead at the very centre of the edifice, but also the quality of the gardens and the external areas of the high school that are structured on the terraced slope with perennials, inscribed into the distant views from the site. © Luc BoeglyThe ‘place-forte concept - beyond this high school - today becomes an ambition that every architect confronted with the mutations procurement in France should assert in the role of edifices as well as the urban project Especially for public works that should be identified as strong volumes set out in series within the public space on this major site in the city”.Text by: Jean Mas You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Essential digital access to quality FT journalism on any device Complete digital access to quality FT journalism with expert analysis from industry leaders Complete digital access to quality analysis and expert insights complemented with our award-winning Weekend Print edition Terms & Conditions apply Discover all the plans currently available in your country See why over a million readers pay to read the Financial Times This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed The Grand Paris Metropolis is characterised by an enormous demand for social housing linked to its economic attractiveness and high rents in the private housing sector Out of the 680,000 applications made for social housing recorded at the end of  2016 in Île-de-France 491,000 targeted a Métropole du Grand Paris municipality as first choice that is 72% of demands in Île-de-France while the social housing stock within MGP makes up only 67% of its social housing stock The pressure of demand in the Metropolis amounts to an average of 10 applications made for 1 housing unit allocated Paris undergoes even more pressure with 16 applications for one allocated housing unit Other municipalities are also under pressure like Neuilly-sur-Seine This severe pressure reflects a great demand but equally a low rate of allocated social housing The pressure weighing upon the social housing stock in the Metropolis is also caused by a low rate of rotation among occupants and a high demand to move to another housing unit: 28% of applicants wish to change their social housing Apur processes your data to manage sending out the newsletter.
