Les équipements sportifs envisagés dans le cadre de la candidature de Paris aux Jeux olympiques et paralympiques de 2024 procèdent, à l'inverse des deux compétitions antérieures en 1900 et en 1924, d'une répartition géographique qui favorise le Nord – en particulier le Nord-Est – de la banlieue parisienne. Il était donc essentiel d'opérer un retour aux sources pour montrer le chemin parcouru depuis un siècle dans la pratique sportive locale et de mettre en valeur la place incontestable que les équipements sportifs occupent au sein de ces territoires. La surprise vient de la variété des sites rencontrés – tribunes, gymnases, piscines, vélodromes, patinoires, ou plus rares hippodromes et cynodrome –, mais aussi de l'inventivité formelle et structurelle de bâtiments souvent perçus comme ordinaires voire uniformes. Ce livre, objet d'une enquête sur le terrain et d'une recherche inédite dans les documents d'archives, propose une approche chrono-typologique qui mêle architecture et ingénierie et dévoile l'existence de réels monuments.

When the 14th FINA World Championships in swimming were held in Shanghai in 2011, a new sports center, comprising a sports stadium, a swimming stadium, an outdoor swimming pool for platform diving competitions, and a media center, were built on a surface area of over 347,000 square meters. An artificial lake is the connecting element between the various stadia. The buildings stand on plateaux that protrude into the lake. This forms a gently curved bank around the round stadia, and a straight edge in the south for the outdoor swimming pool.

Olympic sports facilities are places that get a great amount of attention for a short period of time. Moreover, media attention has rapidly increased in recent years, which reinforces the effect of temporary use even more. But what happens to the elaborately planned and expensive sports venues in the aftermath of the games? Photographer Bruno Helbling followed the fate of six venues with his camera: Athens (1896, 2004), Berlin (1936), Sarajevo (1998), Torino (2006), Beijing (2008), and Sochi (2014). His images are neither judgmental nor disavowing: He offers the viewer an objective yet aesthetically captivating look at what now awaits visitors to the respective sites. The variety of possible subsequent uses shown here - whether planned or unplanned - is both insightful and educational. At the same time, it demonstrates the effectiveness of architecture in an environment that is beyond the reaches of planning control. A book that is both poetic and inspiring.
