田径田径运动体现了希腊第一届奥林匹克运动会的精神，在自然的中心运行的行为。

The athletics track presents the act of running in the middle of nature, in the spirit of the first Olympic Games in Greece.

该地区名为托索尔-巴兹尔，被指定用于休闲活动，位于一座城市和一个自然公园的边缘沿一条河。当考虑在这里增加体育设施时，建筑师们面临着一个两难的境地：要么清除大量生长缓慢的橡树，要么屈从于不想改变的环保主义者。

The area called Tossols-Basil, which is designated for leisure activities, is located at the edge of both a city and a natural park along a river. When contemplating adding sports facilities here, the architects faced a dilemma of either clearing large amounts of slow-growing oak trees or succumbing to environmentalists who wanted no change at all.

解决办法是将田径运动场地安置在以前用于耕作的一片森林中。自然和运动是结合在一起的，跑步者在赛道上跑来跑去，然后消失。该项目突出了景观的美丽，并保留了植被作为一个过滤器，随着季节的变化。

The solution was to site the athletic track in a forest clearing, previously used for cultivation. Nature and sport are united and runners appear and disappear as they make their way around the track. The project highlights the beauty of the landscape and preserves the vegetation as a filter that changes with the seasons.

用来观察运动员的座位被发展成空地之间的小梯田或堤坝，通常使用自然地形。细长的灯光塔成为景观中的参照点。

The seating for observing the athletes is developed as small terraces or embankments between the clearings, often using the natural topography. The slender lighting towers become points of reference in the landscape.

在2001年完成赛道后，还增加了其他设施：一个足球场和一个设施改变的入口处，RCR称之为2x1展馆。这种结构作为通往该地区的门户，有一个薄屋顶，由两个卷支持，允许多个视图通过。

After completing the track in 2001, other facilities have been added; a soccer field and an entrance pavilion with changing facilities, that RCR calls the 2x1 pavilion. This structure that acts as a gateway to the area has a thin roof supported by two volumes allowing multiple views through.

再一次，RCR只使用了一种材料-Cor-十钢-这种结构很容易进入自然环境。

Once again, RCR employs only one material – Cor-Ten steel – and the structure settles easily into its natural setting.
