The character of a place is greatly increased by using existing sites and structures like this new building and the community pride. The goal of this project is to give a new character on sustainable projects with the intent of helping the country to solve its social priorities, acting as a factor of social transformation.
Both training and practise football pitches assume a great importance, being the main one the rotor of development of the main building, together with the ramp crossing the site. On that way, the building with common materials but with a non-common structure display, gets higher visibility, working as an icon for the city and its new steel plant, giving visibility to youngsters and women on the community.
Inserted on a low-income neighbourhood, manufacture facilities are used on the construction, having as basis not only an environmental sustainability, but also an economical and social sustainability.
The ground floor is left almost empty, only with the sports facilities together with public spaces, leaving room for social activities together with sports areas, in a first phase. After the World Cup, with the construction of the first floor, a mixed program is created, where multiple activities can occur at the same time, supporting the positive attributes of density development in a marginal community and creating multiple challenges for it in a same site.
