An endemic species of the Canary Islands, with a slow growth, the dragon tree has a strong symbolism since, in the past, it was considered the protector of the islands, but, at the beginning of the 1980s, the one who needed protection was precisely the dragon tree. Visitors - about 1 million a year - flocked to visit it, and the intense activity

This project addresses an excess of servitude derived from the demanding topography and strict regulations through a straightforward strategy: a compact, clean and tidy body overlooking the Atlantic’s rising face and enjoying a panoramic view of the Anaga Mountains to the west. It is a simple‐volume step section that tries to sit naturally on the terraced slope.

In the district of Tincer, on the outskirts of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and close to the boundaries between the city, the mountains and the motorway, is the new Tenerife Athletics Centre, a monumental scale project that reflects the volcanic origin in the formalisation of a crater with slopes that are fixed thanks to the Cyclopean volcanic rocks that cover it, creating an image that evokes a pyroclastic cone. This single forceful proposal resolve a programme that integrates a range of different uses, under a unifying petrified mantle. At the same time, this action lays claim to its iconic value through its dimensions, while the impact on the environment is minimised. The crater provides a new raised public space to the exterior, finished in irregular basalt stone, from where a visual relationship is established with the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, we see the different facilities that include a high performance centre, a gymnasium, dressing rooms, warming up track, press room a lecture theatre/projection room, opening onto the indoor space via a set of mobile screen walls, with a capacity for 200 people.The athletics track is situated half way up the slope on the plot, so the earth moving of the excavation and the embankment are off-set in the new topography that is generated.
