New sports hall
The approach to the project of the new indoor stadium of the city of Cagliari will revolve around the connection between sign and function. From one hand you think of a cutting-edge facility, technologically advanced and able to adapt to a complex program that involves activities related to the sport and not. On the other hand the project is an opportunity to bring in a profit zone characterized by great degradation a strong sign citywide.
The image of the new Palasport is born from the careful study of the context, characterized by the massive presence of road and rail infrastructure, the proximity of the wetland system of S. Gilla, from the important visual relationship with the City.
The reference image for the development of the project was that of the calcareous skeleton of the sea urchin to which the planned structure refers by analogy. The resulting sign is that of a large circular structure in which the supporting structure, cover, systems for alternative energies, etc. They are integrated into a single object; the opening or not will be determined by the specific needs outside: continuous coverage completely close the central area corresponding to the pitch and the stands, the only skeletal structure will determine open areas to accommodate the emergency stairs and other roads exodus.
