A Gandareira football stadium, Spain

Located at the edge of Villa de Bandeira, integrates with the rural landscape through a design rooted in simplicity and local materials. Positioned on a slope, the structure uses the natural terrain to guide spectators to the top of the stands, where amenities offer panoramic views of the field. Built primarily with prefabricated concrete elements, the architecture emphasizes durability, low cost, and structural rhythm. Its modular layout supports multiple teams, with cross-ventilated dressing rooms lit from above, evoking a thermal bath. The stadium stands as a practical yet poetic response to Galicia’s climate and topography.
