École de tissage de Lyon, Technical school building in 1st arrondissement of Lyon, France
The École de tissage de Lyon is a school building with connected workshops designed by architect Tony Garnier between 1930 and 1933. The complex features a main block with industrial shed roofs that housed teaching spaces and practical work areas.
The school was founded in 1883 to improve training for silk workers in the city. Its later expansion with Garnier's design reflected Lyon's commitment to modernizing vocational education.
The institution played a central role in developing textile expertise in Lyon, training generations of professionals in weaving techniques and industrial design.
The building is located in the 1st arrondissement and now functions as a technical high school. It opens to visitors during Heritage Days celebrations when the school welcomes the public inside.
The director's villa, attributed to Jean Faure, showcases a modern architectural style that differs from the main building's design.
