Olympic Swimmig Pools

The Olympic swimming pool of Algiers is part of a sports park, equipped with a hotel, a football stadium, a sports hall, and a basketball court.
Like a white sailing ship, the building is marked by its rippling roof, evoking the movement of waves and sails swollen in the wind.
The roof, whose geometry is designed to capture northern light, integrates solar panels in the South to create an energy-conscious architecture.
The white-painted reinforced concrete envelope is characterized by its oculus, portholes like, which give the project a maritime and Mediterranean character.
