The spaces merge pedagogical spaces, working and living spaces as well as virtual and physical experimentation laboratories. By building the school’s architecture as a physical manifestation of its pedagogical diversity, students benefit from an open, diverse and collective body of knowledge.
Situated on the ground floor of the building it is the school’s forum and marketplace. A place for exhibitions and experimentation, a place for debates and critiques, a place for meetings and exchanges.
The school’s fabrication laboratory is situated on the upper level. It is the place for the fabrication of projects. Conceived as a laboratory, space is organized around four technical poles:
• Electronics ( Arduino, Rasberry, Kinect … )
• Machining ( CNC, thermoforming..)
• Robotics ( 6 axes robot Kuka )
• Rapid prototyping ( laser cut, 3D printers…)
Each pole enable students to experiment with the latest technologies available
Located at the upper level of the school next to the creative maker space, it is the place for individual student work. Each student of the school has a dedicated space. The Confluence is the only school in France that offers these individual work conditions to all of its students
