Is this really a Primary School?



In my opinion I would be calling this building a Playground rather than a Primary School!
This Primary School is L'ecole polyvalente Claude Bernard Primary School.

Children respond very well to design, colours, shapes and imaginative spaces, maybe this kind of space makes them work harder or help them think of ideas more quickly.

The exterior of the building is etched glass with a repeated pattern of small circles this then reflects onto the interior of the building and creates a theme around the whole building a clever way to create a pattern don't you think, using light and shadow?

inside the spaces are full of colour, to help identify areas and direct where the children should go. Children react well to these kind of signs so it could make it easier for the adults.

the more i read about this Primary School the more I understood the Relevance for the Bright and crazy colour designs, Children will definitely react in the right way whereas at first I thought the children would just get distracted by them. 
A very clever design by the architects. Bravo.
