Cité De L’océan Et Du Surf
Biarritz [FR]
Steven Holl couldn’t have found a better location
to realize his Cité de l’Océan et du surf – scientifi-
cally, physically or meteorologically. The inverted
arch that overlooks the large exhibition hall
symbolizes the motion of the sea and gives the
building a unique architectonic expression. Using
environmentally friendly acoustical solutions from
Fellert, consideration has also been taken to both
present and future generations.
Biarritz has always had a strong relation-
ship with the omnipresent Atlantic Ocean.
For more than four decades, surfing has
been a deep-rooted element of the local
culture, and has produced an image and
lifestyle that is intimately linked to an
active environmental approach and
marine culture.
