CITE DE L'OCEAN ET DU SURF

摘要

biarritz, france, is said to be the birth place of surfing, after screenwriter Peter Viertel-in town to work on a film adaptation of The Sun Also Rises-effectively invented the sport on the Cote-des-Basques in 1957. Biarratz has since developed an intellectual interest in the ecology of surf, and the Cite de l'Ocean et du Surf museum examines the significance of the sea from a civic and scientific perspective. Where surf meets turf at the new museum-designed by New York-based Steven Holl Architects, working in collaboration with Brazilian artist Solange Fabiao-it's made to look like sea meeting sky.
