École de tissage de Lyon, Technical school building in 1st arrondissement of Lyon, France

The École de tissage de Lyon consists of a main building and workshops with shed roofs, designed by architect Tony Garnier between 1930 and 1933.

Founded in 1883 by the municipality of Antoine Gailleton, the school aimed to enhance silk workers' training through practical and theoretical courses.

The institution played a central role in developing textile expertise in Lyon, training generations of professionals in weaving techniques and industrial design.

Located at 43 cours Général-Giraud, the building now serves as a technical high school and opens its doors during Heritage Days events.

The director's villa, attributed to Jean Faure, showcases a modern architectural style that differs from the main building's design.
