I went to a cock fight once in Paraguay. It was pretty boring, actually, certainly not nearly exciting enough to condone animal cruelty.

@Manu: I agree with JS to some extent that this project resembles Frank Lloyd Wright’s later work, but less Guggenheim and more of his large-scale civic projects like the Point Park Civic Center in Pittsburgh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Park_Civic_Center), which had a circular ramp wrapping up the complex. It was intended to be driven on, as a way to “bring the automobile into the social setting.”

…..fantastic, and so thought out.

The feel is from a child and brain surgeon all rolled into one…I must see this in person.

@Yomero-
That is so interesting: you think this is really a cock fighting arena? I guess its a problem of representation. The drawings are so staid and static with no hint of the life of the building.

@beb-
I was completely serious about the drafting tape. Helps destroy the myth that these schemes are miraculously conceived, right? They’re struggles like a death match between two roosters, perhaps?

Oh well!

Quote : a “centro gallero” for “cock fights”?
And I was wondering what kind of sports you can do in that arena.
It’s a shame that the architect will design any building – regardless of what the building might be intended for.

Yomero:
Are you an architect or a fanatic greenpeace member… its obviuosly you don’t understand anything about this project… I been stay in Mexico a few times and this complex has the name “palenque”, and use it to musical concerts, box fights, wrestling, and some concerts and few times to cock fights…
This project has a perfect solution of a program and the scenario in the center has called Arena.

This shape its spectacular.
