La Villette hosts Archi-Folies: a monumental exhibition showcasing the creations of 20 architectural schools. From June 14 to July 7, and again from August 28 to September 3, 20 life-size pavilions will be set up on the Triangle lawn in the Parc de la Villette.
These ephemeral structures showcase the ingenuity and talent of France's student architects, so architecture enthusiasts can enjoy these original creations. But that's not all! These pavilions are being built to accommodate Club France's 20 sports federations, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. La Villette thus offers us a chance to plunge into the world of sport with this monumental open-air exhibition.
20 schools of architecture, 20 sports federations: so many styles, techniques and worlds come together and are on show on the lawn of La Villette. You'll discover as much about the future talents of architecture as about sport and the disciplines involved in these Olympic Games. A double exhibition, which should delight many a curious visitor!
These pavilions can be visited freely before the Olympic Games, and again at the end of the summer, during the Paralympic Games. Don't miss out: the structures won't remain at La Villette forever. However, there's no question of destroying these creations in their entirety: they should be installed elsewhere in France or recycled after the exhibition.
Architecture and sport meet this summer during the Archi-Folies event: an amazing project not to be missed during this Cultural Olympiad!
