Antoine de Ruffi School | TAUTEM Architecture + bmc2 architects
Antoine de Ruffi School’s Features:
Housing 22 classrooms and common areas, this mineral monolith features strict geometry and spectacular volumes. Its light-colored concrete façades are sculpted, and the openwork of this thickness forms a colonnade on the port side and a grand staircase on the city side, creating the interplay of light and shadow in its embrasures.
In contrast to the building?s envelope, the interiors are warm and comfortable thanks to the use of color and wood.

A remarkable site. The Antoine de Ruffi school group occupies a strategic spot between the entrance to the new Méditerranée district, and its ?inhabited park? coordinated by the urbanist Yves Lion. Its situation offers, on one hand, a view over the developing suburban fabric, with scattered warehouses, silos, soap factories, large-scale housing estates from the 1970s, and in the distance, the Massif de l?Etoile. In the reverse view, towards the west, one sees the port and its huge ships, the towers by Zaha Hadid and Jean Nouvel, as well as the continuous sweep of the highway viaduct.

Sculpted monolith. At first glance, this monolith combines massiveness and minerality. The monumentality is the condition guaranteeing its existence in this dense district where high-rise apartment buildings (up to 17 stories) are slated for construction.
The architects have voluntarily limited the number of architectural and technical components to guarantee simplicity...
