Carvico Municipal Sports Hall
From muscle fibre to architectural structure.
← All projects
Form is structure.
The project originates from the microscopic observation of muscle fibres, a reference to the strength and movement associated with sport.
Their organisation informs a structural geometry expressed in the facade. The envelope forms part of the load-bearing system, creating a large sports space without internal columns.
The design extends into the surrounding public realm: parking, an outdoor basketball court, school connections, landscaped areas and a pedestrian-cycle path. Architecture and open space together create a coherent place for sport and the community.
