Design Details

Unique Properties: This project was designed to be the main buidning in a sports complex. The ideas was to create and organic and fluid structure that would connect all the buildings in the design and at the same time would create a new way of living the surroundings of the stadium itself, not only the surrounding garden but the stadium rings can be lived by the people, like walking, running, riding a bike, riding a skate, and so on....
Inspiration: This project was inspired by the feeling of connection between the different sports because this was one of four buildings that were part of the design. With this in mind we developed a design where the stadium would be the main element of the project and that element would be born from the ground. The roots are the paths and the plant, or the tree is the stadium.
