Inside Mexico City, right in the limit between Santa Maria la Rivera and Atlampa, we proposed a Sports Center to act as a trigger to rebuild an industrial area such as Atlampa and as urban equipment for SMR(Santa Maria la Rivera). The Sports Center consists of three main volumes where various sport activities occur, an underground parking space, and a commercial area in its ground floor. The open plan works as a transitional space between the two neighborhoods.The building develops in such a way that one of the main volumes houses all the courts the second houses multi-purpose spaces for different activities, and the last contains all the services and vertical circulations. 
A system of ramps connects the building in its vertical axis, adding richness to the southern facade,creating a circuit of continuous circulation that stops in each level. These ramps are hung by a series of self-supporting frameworks. This facade is covered by a tran lucid colored glass which gives a graphic character to the building, making it recognizable as a vital complex to the area. 
The east façade of the building is composed by a concrete wall with irregular shapes which works both as a climbing wall for both sides and as a firm structure the entire building lengthwise. The facades use a system of multi-perforated panels with serigraphy, which help to filter light and to regulate the interior temperature. This serigraphy composes the façades, giving a graphic image to the building which purpose is to make an impact on the area. The façade is made up of a system that allows it to work independent to the main structure making it light, allowing the building to become transparent.
