AA INTERMEDIATE 9 – YEAR 2
Due to the opportunity created by renovation works which were to take place in Camp Nou Stadium, the building site is a section of the existing stadium and the immediate vicinity. The project aims to create an architectural link between the stadium and the community in the adjacent area by erasing the distinction between city and stadium. We critiqued the stadium typology by taking on the context of the club’s Les Cortes ‘campus’ and its connection to the city and reinventing it.
MODELS AND DRAWINGS ILLUSTRATING THE FINAL CONCEPT
The buildings underneath the roof act as a series of support pillars.
The tops of buildings underneath the roof are shaped by the irregular geometry of the roof, creating a series of sloping planes.

Detail of the top section of the roof. Here a layer of drawing inherited from the earlier Interference and Camp Nou Chart drawings was used to etch the surface of the roof.
DESIGN PROJECT ON SITE
A series of volumes that are meant to house a retail and leisure area adjoining the stadium support a roof structure, which also serves as an alternate circulation and access area into the stadium seating area. This structure is intended to divert stadium visitors from the traditional circulation routes inside the stadium and to attract visitors to the site on days when the stadium doesn’t house a match.
ROOF DESIGN
The previous drawings were used to extract the geometry that would ulteriorly be used to create the design of the roof/circulation area above.

VERSIONS OF FINAL GEOMETRY
Combining the two main drawings created previously, Interference and Camp Nou Chart, I designed a series of drawings.
Using information inherited ,the two dimensional expression of this drawing was ulteriorly translated into a three dimensional series of volumes with a roof structure overhead.
