The building project is a new skating rink connected to
the existing Olympic Winter Games Hall
which was built in 1992.The project is located in the heart
of the Alps in the town of Albertville, France.
The building will feature a new lobby to distribute multiple functions in the
Olympic Hall. All functions could
be used independently and the new
project will gain a great capacity for spatial flexibility. The ability of spaces to be associated and dissociated has been a driving force in the project design. The
new skating ring offers the opportunity to create a multi-flexibility space able toaccommodate
a large range of event like concert, exhibition,
reception, freestyle exhibition, indoor
karting, skating or competition.
Our project strategy is built around a system of cross plan. The cross is used to serve all
functions simultaneously with a
possibility to isolate one arms of the cross if needed.
The Building’s elevation material
used is corten steel .The material
will reflect the character of the
surrounding mountains. The facade
then offers deepness and motion by creating variations of
colors and reflections. The
extension of The Olympic Hall acquires a clear identity and fits into its surroundings while remaining behind compared to the existing
Hall. The building will be
surrounded by a landscaped courtyard and welcoming
entrance plaza.
