Olympic Slide
Places 
Paris 2004

How can we imagine ourselves at the heart of the Olympics, at a time when the site of the future Olympic village in Batignolles is still just a railway wasteland?

 

Slides for Paris 2012

 

 

The project proposes a giant slide, representing the excitement of the Olympics, connecting two levels: a pier overlooking the site and an exhibition space on the ground floor. A system regulates the starts, allowing ten participants to descend simultaneously and race to the finish line.

 

Exhibited at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal in 2004, this project offers a playful experience, symbolizing the dynamics of the Games.
