La Ciudad del Motor : Alcaniz Building
Alcaniz Design Competition, Aragon, Spain design by UNStudio Architects, The Netherlands
20 Sep 2007
Ciudad del Motor Alcaniz
Location: Aragon, northeastern Spain
Date of design: 2007-
Design: UNStudio
Competition entry
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.
