Discover what makes it unique
The commission to construct a Multifunctional Gymnasium intended to revitalize an old sports complex in Tizimín, Yucatán, derived in the proposal for a habitable sculpture—a symbol for the complex itself. Two truncated cylinders, which impact one another, host a multi-purpose court with seating for 550 spectators, alongside a module for complementary services like restrooms and locker rooms.
Tizimín is a hot city, with four months of annual rainfall and dominant winds coming from the northeast and southeast. The Gymnasium responds to these local conditions by creating a naturally shaded and ventilated space, thereby eliminating the need for costly climate control systems.
