Performance and Expertise - Sport Center

Performance and Expertise - Sport Center
Cyrille Weiner, Pascal Aimar

National Institute of Sport, Performance and Expertise, Sport Center

Inside the Bois de Vincennes, the Sports Center complies with a logic of compactness: the different disciplines (gymnastics, fencing, wrestling, taekwondo, fitness, spa) are federated by a common roof and facade which evenly wrap up the training halls, common spaces and an indoor connecting street.


The hall ceiling consists of wooden structural cavities on a 6×6m, fitted with lighting and climate control. The outside skin is a wood pleat lifted in its lower part to accommodate the emergency stairs. This skin contains the light-dimming systems and its thickness integrates the other technical constrains such as acoustics.


Material Used :

1. Wood Structure

2. Wood Facade, Finishing Clapboard, vertical cladding (douglas)

3. Stamped concrete

4. Soft Floors
