Fieldhouse

Football amenity facility at the foothills of Mount Corno

Be it football pitch, tennis courts, or baseball diamonds, outdoor recreational fields are precisely constructed landscapes: their shape, size, edges and orientation on the site are regimented by the rules of the game that they host. Fieldhouses on the other hand are less regulated programs and host not only the players, but also the spectators and the general public whose architectures can range from the strictly utilitarian to the more articulated versions dotting our landscapes. Fieldhouse is an infrastructural piece wedged between the town’s football field and the rocky slopes of Mt. Corno to form a long, low-lying multi-functional structure with a tower for the field floodlights.
