Visually and physically detached from Basque Island, which it is nevertheless located near, and installed in a suburban context, the Basque Adventure Park in America is composed of functional elements that are both anecdotal and structuring. Interpretation is not limited to the interior of the exhibition hall and serves here as a pretext for the layout of the whole.
The main building, inspired by a whale emerging from the water, and a screen wall evoking the whalers crossing the Atlantic, form a constructed square that announces the Park and defines its limits. At the heart of the ensemble, a fronton and a pelota court, the only urban elements transposed from the Basque Country to Quebec, are witnesses to Europe-America sports exchanges and host local shows.
