diagrams reference

These diagrams show the two block elements and the small scale internal structure.



PS: It is a project in Madrid by Morphosis Architecs.

Reference project

This is a large scale housing project with a small/human scale internal structure. The building consist of two elements: a horizontal and a vertical. They accomplished to have a human scale in the vertical element. They achieved to keep a human scale in the vertical element, and therefore it is integrated in the context. This reference is important, because we think the Xtra Xtra Large scale of the stadium will be well integrated in the context with the use of small scale objects. The stadium will be the start of the developement of the area. By continuing the small scale objects in the ring into the surrounding will integrate the stadium and will be a positive continuation of the further development of the area.

integration by human scale

One of the important topics of the feedback was about the lack of relation with the context. The concepts were too generic. Because the stadium is so big, it's difficult to achieve a good integration with the location. In order to solve this problem, we want to introduce a human scale in the stadium.
