Description
A highlight of the façade is the logo of the school, which was painted on the stainless-steel façade. In total, 350 m² of EGLA-MONO 4211 were produced by W.S. Tyler. The flat surface on one side of the EGLA-MONO creates a reflection across the full plane. The special crimps lend the material stability and robustness. The wire mesh façade also acts as an effective sunscreen.
The “École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées” enjoys a special position in the French educational system as one of the foremost schools of engineering in the country. Since 2008, the school ENSTA became part of the Paris Institute of Science and Technology – ParisTech – an association of several Parisian grandes écoles.
ENSTA ParisTech offers its students a broad education in engineering with the aim of enabling them to design, execute, and manage complex technical projects while meeting economic constraints in an international environment.
