Lycée technique Bachelard

Education · by Jean Creuzot · 1938

2 rue Tagore, Paris 13e Arrondissement, France

The Lycée Technique Bachelard exemplifies the monumentalization of educational architecture in the Paris region during the 1930s, aligning school complexes more closely with lycées typologically. It features geometric volumes and proportions characteristic of the era, reflecting municipal public policy on education in the outskirts of Paris. The façade displays high-quality brickwork, and the design is influenced by hygienist ideals, focusing on air and light through the orientation of classrooms and south-facing covered courtyards, reminiscent of outdoor school models. The building has evolved into a technical lycée while maintaining its original rational distribution principles.
