This monograph focuses on the Patinoire Pôle Sud in Grenoble, a purpose-built skating venue and a notable example of contemporary French sports architecture. Centered on the building itself, the work examines its design, public function, and place within the urban life of Grenoble. The associated subjects point to discussion of Hérault Arnod Architectes, the professionals behind the project, as well as interview-based material that helps document the rink's conception and reception. Presented as a focused architectural study, the book is especially relevant to readers interested in public infrastructure, recreational facilities, and the design of spaces shaped by sport. It treats the rink not merely as a technical venue but as a civic building whose form, use, and institutional context contribute to the identity of its city.
