The eighth edition of En Blanco, dedicated to sports spaces, offers an in-depth study on the intersection of architecture and sport. Through essays, project analyses, and architectural reflections, this edition explores how stadiums and sports centers not only serve structural functions but also act as cultural and urban meeting points.
Among the featured articles is an analysis of the Braga Stadium, designed by renowned architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. This stadium exemplifies how sports architecture can integrate with the natural environment, maintaining a symbiotic relationship with the surrounding landscape. Souto de Moura's work uses concrete as a material that, when crafted with precision and sensitivity, creates a dialogue with the mountain rock it rests upon.
This edition also examines projects across diverse geographies and cultural contexts, such as the sports complex in Medellín by Paisajes Emergentes and the Sports Hall in Brussels by dmvA. Each project, adapted to its unique setting and culture, reveals how architects innovate in designing sports spaces, proposing solutions that address sustainability, accessibility, and spectator flow.
The magazine concludes with reflections on the role of architecture in shaping sports experiences, highlighting how contemporary stadiums are becoming catalysts for urban life, transcending their use as mere sports facilities.
