AGUAVIVA STADIUM
Marbella (Málaga), Spain
Public Tender
February, 2022
More than a new stadium, it is a new urban garden. A translucent building during the day that shines at night.
A building that, like a jellyfish, appears very different as the hours go by. During the day, its covering is transparent/translucent, allowing a glimpse of what is happening inside, blending in with its surroundings and giving a permeable, subtle and elegant image. At night, the building shines, vibrating with a fluorescent tone in the coastal environment in which it is inserted.
A project that sets itself the premise of not only being a sports facility, but also an urban space granted to the city that, in addition to serving as a prelude to football matches or athletics competitions, allows citizens to enjoy an open but covered space, landscaped, with plenty of light, but sheltered from the sun, where they can walk, sit down to rest or enjoy a drink thanks to the bar-cafeteria that is linked to it.
