Archi-folies 2024 - Photo report by Aurélien Chen

French architect and photographer Aurélien Chen offers a glimpse into the 20 ephemeral pavilions designed to host sports federations during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In his latest photographic project, Chen captures the Archi-Folies 2024 project, part of the Cultural Olympiad, which was completed by the Ministry of Culture in collaboration with national graduate schools of architecture and landscape (ENSA). Inaugurated on June 13, 2024, at Parc de la Villette, these prefabricated pavilions serve as meeting points between architecture and sport. Their innovative designs embody the Olympic values defined by the Paris 2024 Games, which emphasize being iconic, ecological, committed, equal, inclusive, sober, and unifying.
