Grand Palais Éphémère
GK397935
Designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and installed on the Champ-de-Mars, the Grand Palais Éphémère is a temporary building of 10,000 m2 supported by the Réunion des musées nationaux - Grand Palais and Paris 2024, and built by the company GL events. During the renovation of the Grand Palais, it will host the major art, fashion and sports events usually held in the Nave, including Paris Photo, the Saut Hermès and Chanel fashion shows, and during the 2024 Olympic Games, judo and wrestling competitions.
This book puts the building into perspective with this historical heritage as well as with that of ephemeral architecture. But above all, it allows us to discover the backstage of this extraordinary building. How did it come about? How did the construction work proceed? How was it received by the public?
The Grand Palais Éphémère is an exemplary project in terms of sobriety and respect for the environment, which reveals the cultural, environmental and sporting aspirations of our time.
In partnership with Wilmotte & Associés and GL events
