Abstract


The scope of the job is the enlargement of an existing base-ball stadium in order to increase by 50% its seating capacity and at the same time use the resulting larger field area to include an american foot-ball field. The adoption of a prefab concrete structure not only permitted to carry out the work at a faster pace, also the gradual opening to the public of the sections as they were being completed. The mounting of the structural elements by means of high capacity cranes permitted the construction work to proceed without interfering with the sports activities in the stadium during the three years that took to build the new area. Prefab concrete structure served also the purpose of giving the flnished work a sober feeling, yet lively, whiles at the same time allowing a high degree of functionality and a beauty hard to find in this type of buildings.
