MACA Estudio + Virai Arquitectos shared with us their proposal for the multi-purpose sports hall in Budapest XVI District, which was selected as a finalist in international competition. Their design aims to be a transition between the urban landscape and the rural agricultural landscape nearby. It looks for an innovative but integrated image into the environment, with materials and colors that resemble the park and the trees of the area, like a still life that copies the tone and appearance of the surrounding vegetation. More images and architects’ description after the break.
A sports stadium is projected on a large green plot with existing sports facilities on the outskirts of Budapest. There is a proposal for the urban planning of the complete plot as a second phase within the competition. The proposal aims to be a catalyst for the image of the neighborhood in which it is framed: a modern look for a different building. The project seeks to achieve both an effective circulation of the various users of sports: athletes and audiences, and the right position in the existing a park, complementing it with the necessary parking space and accesses. Instead of placing a large, squared volume, we choose to “continue” the green space integrating the sports park in it.
