The project was born by analyzing the forms and movements of sport and breaking it down into its primary archetypal components: Line Circle and Grid. The world of sport has been symbolically associated with two worlds: the biological and the futuristic. In particular, the Cell and Space were compared between them. While the cell can be seen as the beginning or the basic unit of life, the space can be interpreted as the ultimate goal as well as a place where life must fight (Athlon) to stay alive. The space can also be seen as a place where one overcomes one’s biological limits just as in sport one tries to overcome one’s physical limits. These two elements in antagonism between them have been interpreted on an architectural level by unifying these two opposites into a uniqueness that embodies their struggle (Athlon). In this context, the biological and futuristic components come together in a common language.
