Bilbao Arena Building, Professional Basketball Stadium, Community Sports Centre

Bilbao Arena : Basque Sports Building

Basketball Stadium + Community Facilities, Spain - design by Idom UK

2 Jul 2012 Bilbao Arena and Sports Centre Design: Idom UK RIBA Awards 2012 Citation: Bilbao Arena This 20,000 seat professional basketball stadium and community sports centre is perched on a grassy outcrop, its veil of green painted steel ‘leaves’ hanging five metres beyond the world-class basketball arena inside. This creates an exterior service zone (like the branches of a tree) for the building’s gloriously accessible array of air-handling equipment. photos : Jorge Allende In total contrast, the sports centre is a cave carved from the ferrous rock. Low-level pool lighting and dark materials give this ‘local public amenity’ space an aura of five star hotel glamour and tranquility.
