The project was born from the union of a concept and a symbol that permeate the figure of the Club since its inception and that the project area resulting protagonist and iconic. The concept is that of the history of the club, understood as a series of dates and events followed one another over time, and that the reconstruction of the Philadelphia it is necessarily a future piece. The symbol is that instead of the bull itself, which is taken in its most characteristic: the horns. The architectural history lives on in the skin surrounding the sports complex. The long curved blades painted aluminum, are superimposed on each other as in a geological stratification and represent the many events (past and future) that make up the history of the Club.
The story, as well as being an element of distinction grenade, materializes and wraps itself around the entire sports center and as a power generator gives solidity and substance on which to relive the past and building the future. The horns of the bull instead revived the project becoming sectional shape of the green ring that rotates around the main field. Their concave shape creates a green bowl inside. Their shape convex curve and creates a centrifugal force outward that tends to expand towards the symbolically around.
