La Tourelle a Sarcelles.  Ahem, a high school gymnasium (via Architizer).

“For the architects, more than building a roof, the idea is to extract the practice of sport from a school context, where the dimensions imposed by regulations were not possible, for which reason there could only be a beginners’ court. The choice of materials is a kind of metaphor on the desire to reduce the difference between the aspirations of the users and their sport activities on one hand, and the dominant technical and academic environment on the other.”

 

 

Thought: If I went to high school outside of Paris, and not Minneapolis, Minnesota, how much cooler would I be right. now?

I second this thought … (replacing Minneapolis with St. Louis)
