Ciudad del Motor, Spain
Info from UNStudio 200907

The Cuidad del motor project is the centerpiece of the new world-class
racing site. The building is organized like a continuous loop with two
crossing points. The loop houses the various programmatic elements and
the complimentary program. The design is based on generating the maximum
interaction between building and surrounding, especially the tracks, providing
multiple experiences to the visitor.

The architectural expression combines elements of movement, landscape,
technology and public construction. The four principal programmatic elements:
technology, sports, leisure and culture are translated into a mix of complementary
programs catering to a large and diverse audience. Through the integration
of carefully assembled programs into one coherent building organization,
an attractive and sustainable environment is created.
