FedEx european center, Aéroport Roissy Charles de Gaulle
Situated at the Charles De Gaulle airport, the FedEx European Center is designed for the grouping, sorting and redistribution of documents and packages. The buildings are of varied proportions and sizes, the design of the facades creates the harmony between them: random openings ponctuate the light metallic rounded aluminium siding. The unity of materials uses, the graphic treatment on the facades and the simplicity of the forms offer an image of clarity and simplicity, rationalist and economic.
