Saturday 19 March, the Russian Orthodox spiritual and cultural centre, being built by Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France-Construction Privée, was adorned with a great golden dome, the most impressive of the five domes that will top the building upon its completion.
Newcomer in the sky of Paris, the great dome, now visible from the Pont de l’Alma, was hoisted 37 meters above the ground by crane, thereby allowing the building to dominate the banks of the Seine. This extra-large dome is impressive because of its exceptional measurements: 10 tons, 15 metres high, and 11 metres in diameter.
In addition to its size, it also stands out because of its manufacturing process, different from traditional techniques beginning with a wooden or metal frame, covered with sheets of gilded brass, slate or ceramic. For this particular project, architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte wanted to create completely smooth domes in order to maintain the aesthetics of a traditional dome, but by using composite materials, widely used in the aerospace and shipbuilding industries, but virtually absent in the building industry.
So this was a world first for the project teams who hired, for design and built, two French partners, leaders in their field: Multiplast, a Breton company that manufactures large multihull racing vessels around the world, and Gohard, gilder of historical monuments. Beyond its innovative character, this manufacturing process presents real advantages in terms of weight and turnaround times, the domes being pre-fabricated during the execution of the main work.

Now crowned with its biggest dome, the Russian Orthodox Spiritual and Cultural Centre enters its final phase of construction. Composed of four distinct entities, the program provides for the creation of:
– A cultural centre including a library, exhibition halls and a cafeteria.
– An Orthodox cathedral.
– A parish centre including a 200-seat auditorium and foyer, offices for the cultural department of the Russian Embassy in France and furnished apartments.
– A primary school for 150 Franco-Russian students.
The entire project, designed with an eye to HQE® Aménagement certification, is subject to clean site regulations and will respect the Climate Plan of the City of Paris and the Biodiversity Plan.

Alan Mossman is Managing Director of The Change Business Ltd, a lean design and construction consultancy. He is an occasional author and professor of lean construction at universities such as Loughborough and Nottingham Trent. If BIM is about technology, then lean is about the people who use that technology! Alan Mossman tells us about it today, through his favourite field, lean construction.
How can lean management change the world of construction? Karine Famy, Director of Production Habitat Nord at Bouygues Bâtiment Nord-Est, explains.
The so-called ‘tertiary’ decree, applicable since 2019, imposes a gradual reduction in the energy consumption of this type of building up until 2050. Like any new regulation, this involves a period of adaptation - especially as the objectives set are ambitious. However, the ‘Syndicat professionnel des entreprises de la transition énergétique et numérique’ (Serce) (Professional Union of Energy and Digital Transition Companies)considers them to befully attainable.
Find out why Bouygues Construction is getting closely involved, in particular by investing in the startup Simsoft Industry.
