Gallery: Gigantic Bubbly Vitam’Parc ...
ETFE is a plastic material that we've seen previously used in the Eden Project's domes, but the Vitam’Parc is the first one to use the technology in France.
L35‘s main architectural goal was to design a set of shells that would enclose the different areas of the complex and fit organically within the landscape, despite the project’s large-scale dimensions. The architects called upon Reynaers to create an undulating, bubbly space that fits with the countryside’s typography. The structure features a frame made from wood and recycled aluminum, and it’s covered with a polymer called ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (aka ETFE).
