Concept Drawing Cfwan 2010
Located in Les Ulis, France Marc Mimram's Aquatic centre is perched in mid air. The space of it's architecture seems to exist in the last possible moment before a free falling body enters the water. This brief investigation serves as the author's starting point for a new studio taking place at the University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design which aims to design an aquatic and leisure centre in downtown Toronto.

The parti is one of grace and lightness intersected with the more muscular and tectonic language of swimming and diving. The structure, most obviously the designer's strength, appears to gently lift out of the water and pause, creating a dynamic space below for both competitive and leisure swimming.

The concept is then solidified in plan, as the central arch dictates the clear and simple division between competitive swimming and the leisure pool.
