Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Estadio Único Ciudad de La Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Roberto Ferreira & Arquitectos AsociadosNovember 26th, 2011 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Roberto Ferreira & Arquitectos Asociados The shape of the stadium is determined by the intersection, the collision of two circles. It is a stadium with two centers, two sectors entering into conflict, and the design features the architectural resolution of this conflict. Its shape thus symbolizes the relationship between the two clubs, which share the field of play without losing their individual identities.  La Plata City Stadium
 La Plata City Stadium Project plans call for a complete roof and portable turf system, committed to a multi-functional outfitting which will allow it to host events and competitions under any kind of weather conditions.
 La Plata City Stadium The stadium’s roof, which spans out 240 m long by 180 m wide, was crafted employing a tight structure (tensegrity), whose main elements are metal masts suspended from a triangulated and prestressed network of lines and steel cables covered by a translucent membrane consisting of a fiberglass mesh with a Teflon cover. A perimeter compression ring, with a latticework structure of steel tubing, supports the weight of the roof and box seats, connected to the ground by 46 braces at the top of the stands’ slope.
 La Plata City Stadium Today the structure is completely finished, but the membrane canopy only covers the stands on the perimeter of the playing field. In a second phase the central area will be completed. A central scoreboard hanging from the structure features 4 screens totaling 140 m2 of LED technology, providing for optimum viewing from all areas of the stadium. The facility seats 40,000 spectators, with a perimeter ring housing box seats of different categories, and restricted areas for the press and authorities.  La Plata City Stadium The stands rest on compacted embankments that exploit the land on which the stadium is located as their foundations. This produces a change in topography yielding a new kind of design in which horizontality gives way to a series of undulations which, stretching upward, shape the stadium’s access routes.  La Plata City Stadium THE CITY PARK AND TRACK AND FIELD STADIUM
The overall organization of the facility is based on the following:
 La Plata City Stadium The overlapping of these two elements and their relationship to the boundaries of the field yield a varied sequence of sectors or differentiated areas which allow for the establishment of the locations for the different program elements. The entire project is integrated into a large Urban Park, including parking areas found in large wooded areas forming part of the whole facility. A heliport and bus parking zone ensure accessibility to all kinds of patrons.  Plan The Urban Park sports complex in the city of La Plata also boasts a track and field stadium with a capacity for 6,000 spectators, various outdoor sports facilities, and a swimming pool.
