Dialoguing architecture. Large scale. Nature, through the design of the largest outdoor concert arena built in Europe, is adapted for sports and entertainment use, respecting its conditions and generating a good relationship with the outdoor space, defining the use but always respecting the original condition of the landscape. 
The project converts a non-operational airport's area into an event and concert park capable of accommodating up to 100 thousand people. An architecture and landscape project that considers the visual and sound dimensions within a space that is as large as it is inclusive.
One appreciates the versatility of the landscape of the public space that becomes an example of the relationship between public and private in the construction of an open, equipped area that must be managed and maintained throughout its life. The intervention aims to affect the social and economic life of the city, as well as to promote the vast territory and its excellence in terms of culture, tourism and entertainment.
