Afouteza Sports activities Fields / Irisarri + Piñera
Textual content description supplied by the architects. In January 2018, a contest proposed the design of the longer term sports activities metropolis of Celta. An undefined and open program, however with the ambition to carry collectively what makes up our cities. Public, industrial, and residential locations…together with that particular program and managed entry to top-level and complicated sports activities.


All based mostly on one thing as historic as founding a metropolis on rural land, the one territory right this moment that makes an operation of this entity potential and sustainable.

Improvement planning and social curiosity would make it potential to suggest right this moment, from a society that calls for the reunion of our urbanity with nature, the place we speak about habitat, atmospheres, and variety of natures and existence.


Utilizing conventional methods of adaptation to the surroundings and panorama, we proposed an open system of occupation of the place, able to accommodating an evolutionary and various program. As soon as once more, the MYTH OF FLEXIBILITY and structure.

When the occasions of urbanism and Membership separated, that magic of flexibility was summoned, and together with it emerged all of the distortion and disagreement between the institutional urbanism of our nation and the truth of rural territory, enormously extra succesful and dynamic, in want of latest makes use of that assist alleviate depopulation and that make potential the reunion of right this moment’s society with a habitat able to offering a stability between man, structure, and surroundings, totally different from our dense city scene.


In a area like Galicia, the place dispersion and residential material are sewn with threads of sunshine infrastructure and a micro-scale adaptation to web site and local weather.

And so, as if we inhabit the partitions which have at all times constructed the panorama of terraces, and made them so mild typically that they generate intermediate areas beneath, the system was confronted with making a primary section, a small half for services of the primary crew.

With the problem of at all times being an entire and coherent structure, identical to the town, from its first buildings tailored to the place, it has been an entire and coherent structure at any time, no matter measurement or programmatic complexity.

And simply as the agricultural dwelling is a set of items in a crew and panorama, our structure outcomes from the grouping of specialised items in a conglomerate of semi-climatized and intermediate areas, which give the “different” program and the “different” rhythms of life. Three atmospheres reply to the varied prospects that the agricultural surroundings gives, and with three supplies, it’s constructed in response to its character.
Introverted wood enclosures for “indoor” actions, translucent bubble areas that enable for an out of doors surroundings expertise, and “semi-climatized air” to supply whole immersion within the surroundings, its seasonal rhythms, and its broad scale.
