Details:
The Town Hall of Dos Hermanas (Seville), owner or the existing open sport facility used just for the practise of cycling, considered the possibillity of being giving other uses which meant constructing a roof over the velodrome.
It was suggested that the oval shaped building with mayor axes of 145m and 114m should be covered in an attractive and competitive way without affecting the existing construction. Due to the lack of perimetral space which made it impossible for the structure to be extended and be supported by large supports and anchorages, the authors' proposal was focused on a design that was completed independent of the existing building, being supported in a stand-alone way on four different perimetral supports located one at each vertex of a of a 91m side square.
