Love pt. III
Construction of a new building for external climbing walls and accesses.
Love, Love, Love.
The third phase of the transformation of the sports centre La Ferme du Château in Loverval comprises the construction of a canopy for a new outdoor climbing wall, along with a new roof for the passerelle from phase two. The concrete and steel canopy takes on the form of a solar roof, spelling “L O V E” through the play of translucent panels. Its thoughtful placement reactivates the concrete steps and—together with the black steel—recalls our interventions from phase one. The polyester volume covering the passerelle evokes an igloo—or perhaps even a telescope—lighting up at night.
Both structures engage passers-by and spark their imagination. Does the canopy follow the sun? Are they watching the stars?
