Eduardo Souto de Moura, Estádio Municipal de Braga 2003, Braga, Portugal

Topography is here intended as an occasion of integration between the land and the building. The result of this challenge is a tension between two aerodynamic elements: the effort here is to solve a conflict between two antithetical movements. The structural balance is finally achieved through a solidarity between the two wings of bleachers becoming the materialization of a telluric effort.
