Fontainebleau and INSEAD are two prestigious names with international renown. 
To return to the goals we had set for ourselves, access to the site is magnified, reception becomes very legible and the service accesses are maintained.

The North-South axis is expressed through the new screen façade which begins at Reception and leads to the amphitheatres.
Each building has a distinct architectural language: Event, with its wood structure and stepped silhouette; the gallery with its new façade with wood structure; the library with its natural-aluminium panels; the Camembert and New Camembert, deliberately built on the same model, with their “caps” and high balconies in zinc; the restaurant / cafeteria / office complex with its abundantly glassed façades and perimeter solar protection.
But they all share the same cladding of solid areas with Vaugirard bricks recovered from the demolitions that were necessary for the project. This is also the link with the existing architecture, with which we have sought to establish a dialogue – a kind of “declension”. These variations on a single theme facilitate orientation on the site since each functional entity – teaching, food services, library, leisure – is identifiable.

We have also repeated the theme of the circular stair in the library for the two amphitheatre buildings, which will contribute to strengthening the unity of ambiance throughout the project.
The need to provide sufficient useful areas for each of the entities, maintain least the existing traffic fluidity and superimpose activities in order to avoid overloading the site in compliance with the urban planning code led us to plan larger interior floor areas than what was called for in the programme.
