Gymnase Marie Marvingt au Plessis-Bouchard / Ateliers O-S architectes

Located at Le Plessis-Bouchard in the Val d'Oise, between a suburban area and the agricultural plain, the gymnasium construction project is combined with that of a secondary school opposite. The area is typical of the Greater Paris region, between village and countryside. The new multi-purpose facility is largely open to the surrounding area, interacting with its immediate surroundings through the interplay of visibility and co-visibility with the outside world. The project is set on a vast plot of land, allowing for the installation of a running track and long jump in addition to the gymnasium, as well as a vast landscaped parking lot. The plot of land dedicated to the project lies on the edge of a residential area and farmland. To the north of the site is the Marie Sklodowska Curie secondary school. The building is located on the northern edge of the plot. To the right of this boundary façade, a layer of vegetation in the right-of-way of the grassy strip between the sidewalk and the plot provides distance and protection for the equipment.
