1926_Football for Hope: Cape Town

Concept Design Invitation
Overviewteamupdatesworkspacecalendarfiles 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Our main purpose remains the same, “minimize the efforts to maximize the results”.
Inspired by the Amerindian’s villages of Yanomami people, the project starts with an elliptical matrix around a football field and ends with a big game dome.
Its construction is based on traditional methods and built by local workers. The modules are conceived with simple and common materials, the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the structure, are an open subject, and they are suppose to be different on each different country. The size of the building can be different to; it depends on the need of the place and the program.
The matrix and the rules that are beneath the design are the real project! A simple slanted ceiling that shadows a seating ground, that roof the inner spaces between two walls and that ends in a water harvesting deposit; all this, of course, around one football field!
The hope in a better world, with more information through sports its worth to highlight, and the Hopefields are the best sports ground for that to happen!
