Ideas Competition - 2003

think the concept of conventional bullring is obsolete. The new company adopts new requirements, so we opted for a new concept of versatile and flexible space, which somehow also connects with the past and recover the historical origin of the square of all peoples and meeting venue where also celebrated bullfighting events, festivals, fairs and dances.
An investment of this size should allow the use of the site not only for fans but also taurine for conferences, concerts, theater, summer theater, sports, ... Besides the bullfighting season is a huge season (only at fairs, festivals and evening possible) and the condition of flexible space to facilitate their use throughout the year, making it possible for the community cultural center.

The square has a non-homogeneous, since the conventional centralized provision is only profitable for certain applications. It decentralize a large number of locations in a fan-popping a new focus to a possible stage and ensure good acoustics, without penalizing their use as conventional bullring. In fact it pays the number of retail locations in the shade, as if in a normal space is 50% in this provision is 75%, and all locations of sunshine offset by a position very close to the ring.

The functional layout of the room is clear, with a main east-west axis linking the front door (public area) with the bullpen gate (service area and private uses). The doors of gangs and drive up a trident visible frontally from the presidency and Royal Box.

The public area consists of an annular gallery in two heights and forms a permeable space visible from the outside, conceived as an extension of the park.

At night the gallery lighting exterior view through the square mesh evanescent become a beacon of light striking diffuse.

The gallery forms the ground floor entrance hall, with access to services and shopping, while the upper ring is completed by forming a distribution route and rest of the public, appearing free areas for possible location press and disabled. The public distribution is conducted in a clear and easy access to both lines and in the evacuation through a direct connection between vomitoria, stairs and exterior doors.
