Vallehermoso Stadium

Vallehermoso Stadium
Alberto Amores

A green stadium in the heart of Madrid

Intentions
That the Vallehermoso Stadium be the benchmark stadium for Spanish athletics, a space intended primarily for this sport. That their activities range from initiation and formation, through practice, training and also being the scene of competitions, from school to high-level international ones, in which the people in Madrid will be able to enjoy the sports show from their stands.

The ground plan is adapted, carved and modified to obtain the empty crater in which the track extends, below it its own services are located: changing rooms, offices, toilets, warehouses, parking, which thanks to the difference in level of the streets that make up its perimeter, have direct light and ventilation. On the “carved” plane of the terrain, rises the light veil of the roof that connects with the straight training roof, a body raised from the ground that accompanies and embraces the stadium on its western side. In the rest of the orientations, the stadium is surrounded by vegetation, bushes, and trees, until a green island is built in the urban fabric of Madrid.
