Concept: the concept of this cell is basically to reproduce. conceived as a self contained complex that contains several spectator stands a big changing room and an open space that has several uses. this cell, when repeated can change its function, the large changing rooms can be used as classrooms and the stands as a small stadium. this function flexibility will be a detonator for social and
economical impact. the budget and security was considered heavily as a guideline of design.
The proyect is contained by membranes that will give shadows to the spectators and the proyect it self, making it cooler in the summer. The hallway that organizes the proyect is conecting the back end with the soccer field, this will create a logic and great relation when special events occur.
The budget of this cell is very low, and with local labour there is the posibility of starting with two or more cells that will further enhance the proyect, functioning as an organism that will help to the economic growth of the area.
