PROJECT DETAILS

Jean Dauriac / Pierre Lafitte: Palais des Sports de Bordeaux, 1966

  • Bordeaux, France, Show on map
  • #SPO #Western Europe
  • Monumental sports complex in the city center of Bordeaux. The building is characterized by the huge reinforced concrete beams. On the façade, the shape of the spectator terraces shows through the construction. 

  • In use.

    Thirteen years after the inauguration, the sports hall was tranformed into a concert hall for the symphonic orchestra, including some massive interventions into the original construction. In 2011, the dismantling was decided. Today, it serves as sports hall again.
