We had a fantastic Archtober tour of the John McEnroe Tennis Academy on Randall’s Island in NYC. The tour was led by Ricardo Zurita from RZAPS | Ricardo Zurita Architecture & Planning, the architects behind the project. The island is a small piece of land nestled between Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx, and is dominated by various sports fields throughout. #archtober

Final compilation of our material for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires soccer stadium and sports facility competition. The entire process was challenging, but worth it. It opened our eyes to international design and the wide world of sports. Already looking forward to the next project in the arena of athletics!

El Bosque is a place where the forest and the city merge. ⚽ 🏀 🏐 We chose to combine the social aspects of the city’s grid with the organic forms of nature to create an environment that is made to support the movement of the human body and encourage social interactions. The playful forms of the buildings are inspired by nature while their organization is a response to the surrounding urban plan. The result is an environmentally conscious campus, designed for sports and integrated into the culture and history of La Plata. Special thanks to Tomas Renzulli, a talented architect and a wonderful collaborator.

Fitting a bunch of rectangles (sports fields) into a triangle (site) was a challenge. We staggered the courts along the diagonal avenue which created plazas on each side of the site. The plazas become informal gathering spaces for less structured physical activities (bocce, ping pong) and extend the city’s grid between the buildings.

The playful massing of the buildings for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires lends itself to a wide variety of athletic pursuits. The centerpiece being the stadium, flanked by swimming pools, basketball & volleyball courts, skating, bocce ball, ping pong, gymnastics and martial arts.

The area in which the sports park is located features many distinguished cultural institutions. Our goal is to highlight the connections between them while providing an anchor point for various athletic pursuits. This creates a better balance between the active and the leisurely activities throughout the park. Capbauno Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires Anthony Frisenda, RATomas Renzulli
A (big) peak behind the curtain.... Before the glossy images of a final design comes a period of ups and downs, dozens of iterations and bad ideas. For our sport facility proposal for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires we used Miro board to collaborate and document our process over the course of 3 months. In the board you'll see inspiration images, lots of backtracking, development of ideas and everything in between. There were moments where solutions seemed intangible. You'll see that the initial ideas are rough and sometimes ugly but are often what carry the project to the end. We hope by sharing our process in a visual medium, it lifts the veil behind the design process and demonstrates the thought and effort that architecture demands. Feel free to take a look and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/dijFpRzU Anthony Frisenda, RA Tomas Renzulli Capbauno
Eager to share our proposal for a soccer stadium and multi-sport facility for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires. As we developed the design, we had the pleasure of learning about the rich history of the club and the surrounding city of La Plata. We believe our proposal honors the existing legacy while propelling the organization and the local area into its next chapter. The fans and the team deserve a facility that matches their passion. Perhaps more interesting than the final design was the process, which we plan to share in future posts. Happy to have collaborated with talented people around the world. More to come! Dale Lobo!
