One of the most recent additions to the ever growing number of spectacular examples of contemporary architecture to be constructed in the Port Marianne area of Montpellier, France, is the Georges-Freche School of Management designed by Italian architects, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas.
The futuristic sculptured form of the facade is composed of thousands of triangular shaped anodized aluminum panels and window panes which are molded around the concrete shells of the two interconnected buildings, in which every aspect of collegiate life is catered to. Access is via two tunnel like openings in the structure, one for students and faculty and the other for guests. The vast interior spaces which are color coded in bright cheerful shades, provide accommodation for students and management in addition to academic and vocational classrooms, kitchens and bakeries, exhibition spaces, a 12 room hotel and 3 restaurants which are open to the public, an outstanding venue for a high ranking center of education.
