The Danièle Damon Architecte agency imagined openwork facades for the design of the three buildings of the Louise Michel school group in Aussone. 187 m² of brick moucharabiehs from the range of terracotta specialist TERREAL, were thus erected.
Inaugurated in August 2016, the Louise Michel school welcomed its 380 students in a particularly aesthetic architectural ensemble. Its perforated brick facades filter the sun's rays and dress the interior floor with a light checkerboard more or less marked with the passing of the day.
Advised by TERREAL, the agency Danièle Damon Architecte has selected long bricks (40 cm) to play on horizontality and perspective. The black and recessed joints of the pieces reinforce the relief and the materiality of the terracotta.
In order to create this “terracotta moucharabieh”, the architects collaborated with TERREAL throughout the project, from the first drawings to the implementation of the support. In particular, a metal frame has been fitted to guarantee the solidity of the wall. The bricks were installed using the double wall technique to ensure perfect inertia and exceptional thermal comfort.
“Terracotta is a traditional and perennial material which has its place in contemporary architecture. Terracotta companies such as TERREAL are extremely innovative and offer more and more products, colors, formats, etc. which allow a real symbiosis between architecture and material. "
