Heritage

Atelier LWD : Guy Lagneau, Michel Weill, Jean Dimitrijevic, 1951-1955

Description

The Paul Bert school complex, built in the early 1950s as part of Le Havre’s post-war reconstruction, is distinguished by its steel structure, rational plan, and fully glazed courtyard façade. Today, a significant portion of the school stands vacant, and its energy consumption raises pressing questions.
Winners of the competition alongside Atelier PNG and landscape architect Jean Chevalier, our project advocates for the retention of the building and its courtyard—both for their heritage value and for their formal capacity to evolve in response to new pedagogical practices and environmental requirements. The project restores the building’s original transparency and openness while improving thermal performance through the integration of external blinds and photovoltaic panels.
Inside, the rational layout is retained and adapted: the Institut médico-éducatif occupies the first floor; a generous central staircase links the different programmes and creates a shared meeting space; and the canopy area and patio are transformed into polyvalent, bioclimatic spaces. These interventions modernise the school while respecting the spirit of the original project by the LWD architects—Guy Lagneau, Michel Weill, and Jean Dimitrijevic—reconciling heritage with contemporary demands.
