Grandstand

Sorec Horse Park

Sorec Horse Park is a horse racing park with a grandstand in Rabat, Morocco, covering 63,750 square meters. The twisted form of the grandstand was inspired by horse movement and responds to sunlight and views. A repetitive structural system lets the outer skin twist without custom made parts, keeping construction costs reasonable. The perforated skin and the self shaded canopy reduce heat gain and glare. Materials are sourced locally in Morocco. The layout separates guests, visitors and jockeys, while the horse track stays visible from the central green space.

Heito 1909

Buildings and lands have been constantly removing and rebuild in this era, every project is a bit of “Tabula Rasa”. Transformation of Heito 1909 is a rare project of adaptive reuse, instead of being obsessed with iconic buildings, everything in the park is designed inside out as the extension of the ruins. The unique design creatively incorporates the ruins and damaged structures into the urban facilities for citizens to experience. Significantly, the park provides a place for people to engage in quality natural environments within a metropolitan city.
