french firm AS.architecture-studio has renovated and extended the original 1908 ‘novancia business school‘ in paris. in keeping with the deeply rooted style of the existing architecture, the vernacular of the original building -brickwork, cornices and mosaics - was kept entirely intact while a contemporary addition gives a new face to the university. where a rough wall of masonry once faced the street, a new façade made of 4102 thin rectangular rotating glass shutters with a red to yellow gradient respond to the colors of the old structureas well as the bourdelle museum. the electrically powered panels possess an opaque nature from a distance but prove to be transparent up close, and are constantly revolving to optimize interior temperature greatly reduce glare and solar gain.
