Municipal Sports Hall in Barcelona, Spain by Roure / de León arquitectos slp + Elena Moragas RagueMay 15th, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Roure / de León arquitectos slp + Elena Moragas Rague Municipal Sports Hall situated on a plot of Vacarisses suburban, small town in the province of Barcelona. Medium size typology, and conditioned by a narrow parcel, the project is solved with a peculiar situation of the smaller service pieces, and a great versatile cover that incorporates all the complexities of the project, plot, orientation, functional inter connection between parts, etc. An unusual final twist of the structure frame, solve the complexity of the cover in a quiet way.

The based terraces topography, allow bridge the existing gap to the south, with gentle slopes.  Image Courtesy © Marc Capilla Llop The sports hall is located at the top of the plot with north-south orientation, dominating all the sports area, leaving more space for bigger equipments, such as the football field. It is situated at a height that can jump the gap access, with gentle ramps. The building composition is based on two pieces, a main volume including a 44×23 m. track, and 200 people capacity tier, and a set of lower boxes volumes, located so unusual in south short side of the track, housing the changing rooms, offices, gym, facilities, and main access.  Image Courtesy © Marc Capilla Llop The main approach to the building is from a higher point than the building itself, making the cover vision like another façade. The fragmentation of the cover in sections, will respond to intention of soften its presence. This great cover, is divided into three sections, begins in the back wall façade and ends with a steeper slope in the opposite façade supported by an unusual twist of the structure.  Image Courtesy © Marc Capilla Llop The building opens over the lower boxes, toward the longitudinal slope that dominates the topography. A second deck, (parallel to the last part of the overall cover), protects the front boxes, allows light, cooling and ventilating on the changing rooms, and extends to the street, generating the main entrance.

In winter, heat gain allowed during the day and night ventilation. And in summer instead worked backwards, limiting access of heat during the day and provided fresh air, venting, at night.

Each construction system adapts to each formal configuration, thus maintaining the coherency of design and structure configuration.  Image Courtesy © Marc Capilla Llop The structure of the Hall and the tiers decks, are steel frames and columns. The sloped decks are painted galvanized steel sheet. The facades of the pavilion are double skin ventilated chamber. Outer Naturvex boards, and interior plywood spruce wood, below3,60 m, and MDF board stained and varnished, under. On the track, closures are translucent cellular polycarbonate sheets, which Hervent type windows for ventilation. Synthetic polyurethane floors on track and gym. Entrance, lobby, tiers, and track, are the unique spaces that count with ceiling, self-supporting sheet metal with sound absorbing insulation, under the covers.

The boxes façade’s are lined with black Krisol quartzite, up to3,60 m in height. In the lobby is lined up to2,40 m high spruce board, and quartzite up to3,60 m in height.  Floor Plan : Image courtesy Roure / de León arquitectos slp + Elena Moragas Rague The changing rooms and corridors, tiled up to2.40 m, and mortars revoked and painted, up the slabs. External joinery profiles will be galvanized steel tube with laminated glass. Outer, blind doors have a flat metal interior finish and perforated corrugated sheet on the outside. The metal sheets, extends over the façade by forming a zocalo. The floors in public spaces are terrazzo micro-grain, and slip PVC in the changing room. Concrete slabs left views, on ceilings.
