The strength of a landscape sometimes imposes a powerful architecture, which seizes the place and allows the visitor's journey. Between polymorphism and pictoriality, Georges Adilon shapes the architectural image and educational environment of the institution Sainte-Marie de Lyon. Working the architecture as a painting, Adilon, creates for students a different environment.

« For my father, architecture and painting fed each other », Marie Adilon

Following in his footsteps, we draw inspiration from L’Œuvre au Noir from the artist to symbolize the strength and power of the site through a sensitive, all-metal model.

Thus, by searching for poetry and harmony, we explore the world of the child. In agreement with the Sainte-Marie school we imagine a primary-kindergarten allowing the child the movement of body and mind. In the continuity of Adilon, painting intervenes in the design. As much spiritual as formal, we draw inspiration from Vassily Kandinsky's Curve Dominante, which allows the creation of a perpetually moving architecture. The symbolization of the elevation imposes here the elaboration of a hierarchization of the architecture in the form of cells, as much in height as in sets of topographies. The symbolism of painting takes a place at the heart of the design and allows the development of architecture, an active architecture.
