Macdonald had been a gigantic distribution center since the 1970s, located at Macdonald Street in Paris.OMA was the master planner of the project and their proposal was rather distinctive.They preserved the old two-storied building (which extends as long as 500m), and asked 5 other architects to work on newly added programs.Kengo Kuma&Associates were responsible for the western part of the building, and designed facilities for a junior and senior high schools, and local sports center.
