The Athletics Stadium, with capacity for over 3,000


spectators, functions as a platform to generate a
large plaza in the city. It rests on the terrain taking
advantage of the slightly sloping topography,
blending seamlessly with the environment and
establishing a dialogue with it through imposing
stands. A slope along the perimeter, left by the site
excavation works, stretches the stands and shelters
the athletics track, rising like the crater of an urban
volcano. The embankment along one of the sides is
counteracted by the excavation on the other side,
economizing the earthworks during the process.

The building also generates a large public plaza –


which is also the extension of the stands’ roof –
connecting, by means of a system of ramps, the
High Performance Center and the athletics tracks.
Four large openings in this plaza also mark the
public access to the di!erent seating zones, and
the cracks and courtyards configure the interior
lighting and ventilation system.

The ensemble proposes an urban foyer that blends


with the surrounding urban fabric, o!ering new
services and facilities for the people, but also
surprising public spaces.
