Description
Set in natural surroundings, this athletics track enables the merits of the existing landscape to be emphasized and the track events themselves to be brought closer to nature.The track is implanted in two clearings in the white oak wood. Contiguous woodland at a distance and far-off woodland are the relations established between the track and the wood, the seating being developed as small terraces or as embankments between the clearings.As well as containing the functional facilities, its equipment is interrelated with the walls, embankments and ramps that formalize the change in height from entrance to track; it is the great gateway directed towards the races, a filter between nature and the urban. A gateway that is an extended roof held up by two volumes, one of which is like a great open window with a glass wall which doesn't interrupt the visual continuity and picks up the reflection of the wood that has determined the entire intervention.(Description provided by RCR)
