Salvan school, designed by Bonnard Wœffray Architectes, poses the question which is at the heart of any architectural project: how does one achieve integration in a setting that is both historical and morphological, as well as sociological? It goes without saying that projects always relate, one way or another, to a pre-existing context: much like adding a new piece to a patchwork, they contribute to that giant fabric that is the city, or rather the world – and that is where the architect’s decisions take on meaning, along with a quasi-political engagement that is destined to modify the patchwork to an extent that is almost irreversible.
