Sports & Fitness Centre
Fiumefreddo di Sicilia
The project (with X-geo engineering) is part of the detailed sports zone plan of Fiumefreddo. The project is conceived as a result of “fragmentation of elements”, seen as the consequence of a different state of ruin, a temporal condition of Architecture already contemplated during the design process. The Sports Centre is composed by two main buildings: a Sports Hall and Olympic Swimming Pool. These structures are conceived as a “part of whole”, characterized by the same shape and material. The secondary activities (a Wellness Centre, a training swimming pool and a Multisport Court) and the ancillary amenities are symbolically located in a ‘basement’ identified by a lava stone wall cladding.
