University of Navarra Sports Centre
In spite of a previous urban development which supported a spread of sporting programmes in splintered isolation where management control was difficult, this time it has been a question of maintaining the unique flavour of the university campus. A civil park where free space is covered by trees is the main feature, in a spot where the silhouettes of buildings can be seen. The idea of mixing the new facilities into a unifying whole, excavated on the slope, is backed up by a shift in height on the hillside to avoid encroaching on the immediate environment of the current multipurpose sports complex. The new building with its sheltered courts, a multipurpose facility -with tennis and pelota courts- is embedded in the hillside. This way, it serves as a base construction for the new sporting installations, which are laid out in terrace form, and to underpin a great asymmetric structure facing the even light of the north.
