PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Massillon School in Paris has decided to construct a new 3-floor building with exterior staircases. In order to protect the children leaving the classrooms, the design of this building incorporates a metal structure covered with transparent ETFE canvas on the top floor, as a pergola.

BASE TÉCNICA

TECHNICAL BASE

The metal structure is built out of tubular profiles whose joints are bolted on site and lacquered in apple green. The roof is divided into 3 transparent ETFE membranes reinforced by stainless steel cables positioned in the direction of the incline. A further, very discrete, rectangular-section aluminium profile is used to fix the ETFE membranes, inside of which the membrane tensioning system is hidden.
