3rd winner / July Call for Drawings

The architecture concept of Encuentro takes place at the entrance of Barrio Padre Carlos Mugica (also known as Villa 31), the most iconic informal neighborhood of Buenos Aires, because of its location in the heart of the city, which showcases a huge social inequality. The spot is set just between two realities, represented by business skyscrapers on one side and informal and self-constructed, overlapped houses on the other.

Encuentro represents a tactical popular stadium that aims to create a shared public space, fostering community and sports engagement in a green and safe environment. Symbolically and functionally, giant balloons serve as the stadium roof, making it more visible from the surroundings.
