Estadio y centro de formación: diseño de espacios para el deporte y la educación.

Abstract

The project is based on the design of a Stadium and Training Center, conceived as a sports and academic equipment that seeks to respond to the needs of the Ciudad Deportiva Rocafuerte in Guayaquil. The proposal stems from the importance of creating a space that not only serves as a stage for football and high performance, but also integrates classrooms and educational spaces, promoting an integral training in which sport and education coexist in the same environment. This project seeks to integrate functionality and training, adapting professional-level sports facilities in conjunction with group, individual classrooms that complement academic learning. In turn, strategies are proposed to ensure environmental comfort through natural ventilation, adequate lighting, ensuring that athletes have optimal spaces for physical training and intellectual development. The idea also boosts social interaction, providing common areas, meeting areas, corridors that reinforce identity and sense of permanence. This thesis explores how architecture can simultaneously boost sports practice and education within the same environment, where athletes have a place for their physical, emotional and academic development, strengthening a comprehensive vision of sport as an educational driver.
