Centre de secours et unité de maintenance pour la brigade des sapeurs-pompiers à Nanterre
La vie du Centre de Secours fait référence sous tous ses aspects à la notion d'efficacité. Efficacité dans le traitement de l'urgence, nécessité absolue, qui suppose une centralisation de l'information et une organisation très stricte des espaces pour favoriser le rassemblement des hommes dans un délai optimum. Efficacité dans la gestion du lieu avec, pour conséquence, une volonté exprimée de simplicité et plus généralement une adéquation optimum des espaces à leur fonction. Ce fonctionnalisme, au sens propre du terme, est la principale caractéristique du Centre de Secours. C'est de la justesse de la réponse à la problématique posée que naît l'esthétique du bâtiment, la lisibilité parfaite du fonctionnement étant alors portée au rang de représentation de la fonction. - Jean-Marc Ibos et Myrto Vitart
House of the teenagers / House of Solenn
To lead you at Home of the Teenagers, out of the RER(REGIONAL EXPRESS NETWORK), you follow the boulevard of the Royal Port. In the place where the built bends, you arrived. You see it far awy, in the clear perspective. Of the long arms it welcomes you. In the space which frees the building by getting dug, the city enters. The road dilates to establish an esplanade, a public, urban place, coiled within the establishment. By offering the space to the city, the House of the Teenagers attracts the city. It stands back to better spread. The hind view also arrange a time. The one which will have can be need the teenager to decide to to return. It can then linger over emmarchements, mix to those who, inevitably, will come to take advantage of a free, protected, raised space, in the city.

Center of help and unity of maintenance for the fire brigade in Nanterre
The life of the Center of Help makes a reference under all its aspects to the notion of efficiency. Efficiency in the treatment of the urgency, required absolved, which supposes a centralization of the information and a very strict organization of spaces to favor the gathering of the people for the optimal deadline. Efficiency in the management of the place with, for consequence, a will expressed by simplicity and more generally an adequacy optimum of spaces to their function. This functionalism, literally, is the main characteristic of the Center of Help. It is from the correctness of the answer to the composed problem that arises the esthetics of the building, the perfect legibility of the functioning being then worn to the rank of representation of the function. - Jean-Marc Ibos and Myrto Vitart
