Description |
English: The Cirque d'Hiver, designed by the architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff, opened in 1852 as Cirque Napoléon. "The circus is an oval polygon of 20 sides, with Corinthian columns at the angles, giving the impression of an oval building enclosing the oval ring, surrounded by steeply banked seating for spectators. A low angled roof is self-supporting like a low dome, so that there is no central pole, as under a tent, to obstruct the views or interfere with the action"--Wikipedia.
Français : Le Cirque d'Hiver, conçu par l'architecte Jacques Ignace Hittorff, à ouvert ses portes en 1852 sous appellation de Cirque Napoléon. Le cirque est un polygone oval à 20 côtés, comportant des colonnes corinthiennes à ses angles, donnant ainsi l'impression d'un bâtiment ovale renfermant un cercle ovale, encerclé par des banquettes pour les spectateurs. Un toi à pente douce autoportant, à la manière d'un dôme bas, permet de ne pas avoir de pilier central, comme sous une tente, afin de ne pas obstrué la vue ou interférer avec les actions. |
