The goal of the design is to form a topographically continuous sports park in junction with a transparent screen which creates a stimulated space. Through a extensive series of sun and continuity studies, our aim was to connect and restore the open space of the block in the 22@ District. The public sports park receives optimal sunlight during the summer and winter seasons, allowing for activity throughout all parts of the year.

Process Creation of the topography To resolve the issue of discontinuity between the light and available surfaces for program, we chose to intervene in an area including three spaces with ideal sun exposure.


Process Creation of the topography The resulting topography would then create a space with several different circulation paths thus connecting the optimal sun exposure areas to the edge of the block.


Process Creation of the topography A variety of activities will occur in the several different spaces that the topography creates.


Design Three spaces with optimal sun exposure were connected to the center of the open space through a series of ramps, varying between 5% and 8% grade. These three spaces, with the addition of a fourth at the back, were used as areas for the badminton courts. It provides as a connection to the upper fitness area and the belowgrade pool and spa.

Process Creation of the Screen

The screen was created by analyzing the sun conditions during the Summer and Winter Solstice and taking into account both the sun angle and time of day. Where the sun comes into contact with the screen and where it does not, shaped the form to allow for optimal sun conditions

Winter Solstice


Program Screen The screen acts as a connection between the verticality of the urban context to the lower public sports park in the center of the block. It is mostly composed of transparent and semi-transparent materials that allow for the maximum amount sunlight to pass through and reach the lower levels.
