The Marcel David School: An Island of Freshness in Échirolles

Échirolles, France

The courtyard of the Marcel David School in Échirolles was redesigned to combat the urban heat island effect. The project focuses on three key principles: reducing impermeable surfaces, incorporating vegetation, and reorganising the space. It also has an educational objective: to raise children's awareness of the environment.
