Commune de Tournefeuille
Illustrated Educational Panels on Schoolyard Greening
ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING
January 2024 - February 2024 (2 months)
Tournefeuille, France
Illustrations for educational panels placed in the forecourt of the T. school group in Tournefeuille (31), which has recently been de-waterproofed and greened!

The drawings highlight the plantings – the shade and the senses they awaken in children – as well as the new bike repair and parking areas installed in the forecourt and the primary schoolyard.

The drawing is an axonometric view (like a bird's-eye view) understandable by both children – through the drawing itself – and parents, who access a second level of reading through the captions and the introductory text.
