Lead ArchitectMiguel Arruda
The project has a rectangular plan with strong longitudinal expression with the largest facade lined with glass, allowing a privileged view over the track. The choice of concave shapes on the other walls constituted an effective element of acoustic optimization, in consonance with absorbent coatings of walls and floors, with the use of fabric and cork. The 12 pillars were transformed into light supports using circular forms that elliptically descend from the ceiling. The lightning is complemented by light bulbs embedded in the ceiling and by circular cork lamps that zonify the functionalities.
