The purpose, from the beginning, has been to integrate the playing fields, its lighting towers and all the buildings of the training center, creating this way a sequenced and recognizable set that, incorporating all these elements, is able to generate a new harmonious, exact and integrated landscape.
We are not in favor of opting for a solution by accumulation, in which the aforementioned elements find a relative position more or less ordered or hazardous and avoiding the simple juxtaposition of independent elements, that is one of our first purposes. Our proposal aims to provide unity of landscape and geometric coherence to the whole. The large platform is composed by eighteen regular-size football fields, two eleven-a-side fields and a 650 meter wide porch covering the six buildings, which give the desired coherence and landscape unity to the whole. Furthermore, the addition of buildings and the defined entrances gives it a certain independence and possibility of growth.
The line-positioned buildings form an aspirational pathway through the platform. It starts in the junior team’s pavilion, located in the lowest part of the plot, moving up the small gradient towards the highest point where the first team building is located, the pinnacle of the football career.
