The Aquatics Centre for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games
The Aquatics Centre for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has reached completion. VenhoevenCS and Ateliers 2/3/4 designed the Aquatics Centre to host diving and synchronized swimming competitions during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It will also be used for the qualifying rounds for water polo and is set to be open for Paralympians to use as a training facility. The building has been developed to be multifunctional, ensuring it can be used as a neighborhood sports venue after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Aquatics Centre's structure is constructed predominantly from wood, left visible in areas including an 80-metre-long roof that swoops over the pool. The curves of the roof create space for spectator stands on three sides of the pool, which will accommodate up to 5,000 people during the games. Each seat is made entirely from recycled plastic collected from the neighborhood. The pool itself is "modular and multifunctional" ensuring it can be adapted to host the different events during the games.
Another feature of the Aquatics Centre is a solar array on the roof, which the studio claim is "one of the biggest solar farms in France". It is expected to generate 20 percent of all required electricity for the building. It is a modern and innovative sports complex surrounded by abundant vegetation that will make a major contribution to creating a liveable and healthy city district.
