Reconstruction of a 4.8 million € HEQ nursery school. The lighting of classrooms was studied, in connection with the natural light and the circadian cycle, to stimulate the learning of the children as well as their rest at night. The light reveals the architecture to help the children to recognize places, as internal corridor, lit by multicolored tints. It is an experimental, functional, playful and educational project. At night, solid stone load-bearing walls are illuminated as a urban landmark.
