Lycee Georges Freche

This hospitality school and training hotel is organized as two main volumes linked by bridges across a landscaped central courtyard. The building is wrapped in thousands of triangular anodized‑aluminum panels, giving the curving façades a shimmering, scale‑shifting skin. Public-facing functions—such as restaurants and hotel spaces—are embedded in the program to connect education with real-world service. Inside, circulation routes become scenic paths, using long perspectives and elevated links to orient students through the complex. The architecture is unapologetically iconic, turning a vocational campus into a piece of urban identity for its district.
