Ressource efficient, but aesthetic
The project aims for efficient construction, in line with the principles defined by the municipality: sobriety and aesthetic quality. It adopts a mixed wood/concrete/steel structure, with each material used according to its specific properties. The large spans of the gymnasium are supported by thin wooden beams, combined with metal cables and compression bars that absorb the forces. This choice reduces the built volume and optimizes costs. The roof offset is cleverly exploited thanks to a wooden truss beam, promoting porosity between the walkways and the sports hall.
