The solutions of the Camp del Ferro sports center in Sant Andreu remind us that architecture is a matter of ‘builders’

The Camp del Ferro sports center is a compact building with a sports program cleverly embedded within its perimeter walls in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona, ​​at one end of the School of Design and Art. It contains three tracks, two underground ones located in parallel and developed transversely to the access, and one on the first floor that can be divided into three tracks in the longitudinal direction. In this way, up to five tracks can work at the same time: their dimensions condition the size of the complex and give rise to a volume of square floor plan that emerges on the slope of Carrer Pare Manyanet.
