lime-green ceramic facade creates a new gateway to EL POLI<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The transformation<\/a> of EL POLI by meii estudio gives La Uni\u00f3n\u2019s municipal sports center<\/a> in Murcia, Spain<\/a>, a new architectural and energetic identity. The intervention at La Uni\u00f3n\u2019s municipal sports center, locally known as EL POLI, is structured around two complementary elements that redefine a beloved local landmark, with a primary focus on both energy production and consumption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A vivid lime-green entrance creates a clear and welcoming gateway to the complex, while a folded photovoltaic<\/a> canopy<\/a> rises above the stands, its geometry shaped by the sun. Together, these two interventions generate renewable energy, improve comfort, and establish a bold new presence within La Uni\u00f3n\u2019s distinctive mining landscape.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Serving as a welcoming gateway between the city and the sports complex, the renovated entrance building unifies essential programs, like changing rooms, offices, and the cafeteria, under a strong horizontal identity. Clad in a ventilated ceramic<\/a> facade<\/a> of vivid lime-green ribbed tiles, it contrasts with the local mining landscape. A fully foldable metal facade at its entrance dissolves the boundary between the town and the facilities, creating a versatile public threshold. The design team at meii estudio refers to these two elements as EL POLI Y LA PERGOLA.<\/p>\n

LA P\u00c9RGOLA folds photovoltaic panels into a dynamic canopy<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The centrepiece of the project transforms a pure energy infrastructure into a striking architectural element. Designed by Murcia-based architectural practice<\/a> meii estudio, to maximise solar energy production, its form is driven entirely by function: the optimal south-facing orientation and inclination of the photovoltaic panels, calculated precisely to the latitude of La Uni\u00f3n, generate a sequence of folded planes with a distinctive sawtooth profile.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Constructed using a robust three-dimensional steel structure and clad in blue metal sheeting, LA P\u00c9RGOLA constantly shifts in appearance as natural light evolves. This creates a vibrant visual dialogue with the green ceramic entrance building while providing essential shade for the existing football stands.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Together, the lime-green entrance and the dynamic blue solar canopy succeed on multiple levels: they supply clean, renewable energy to the complex, improve user comfort, and forge a powerful new architectural identity for La Uni\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
