In 2011, our team was selected to participate in the competition for the construction of the new Charles Nicolle College in Sousse, Tunisia. This project focused on the complex study of the site's urban constraints, the response to climatic conditions and the solutions proposed to obtain a low-energy and high environmental quality building. The installation of the U-shaped building, housing spaces dedicated to students, teachers, supervising and common staff, allows the creation of a playground. The retreat of the rear facade creates a garden that contributes to the freshness and brightness of the adjoining interior spaces.
