Madrid Football School
2011 Project at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
Tutors:
Emilio Tuñón & Luís Moreno Mansilla
The site given for this football school is now occupied by a huge Football Stadium which is meant to be demolished in the near future. the program to be built there features a 50 places residence for children, a sports centre with several indoor pitches and gym, a sports medical centre, the official Athlético de Madrid shop and a café.
The first phase of the course was dedicated to analysis and graphic production which would inform the forthcoming design process. These two documents where especially important for the final design. Given those documents, the aim of the project was to create physical connections between both sides of the river in order to sew them in terms of social cohesion and perception.
The second aim would be to create an artificial landscape that crosses the river and joins both sides, locating the diverse program under it and creating adequate niches for the open-air football fields.
