架构师提供的文本描述。足球场有一个显而易见的基本目的：成为足球比赛的场地。但它还有另外两个不那么明显的功能，但并不是因为这个原因而变得不那么重要。这与代表有关。今天的足球场对这个城市来说是一项具有一定标志性潜力的工程。它不仅有定量的维度。它也有质的。第二种情况来自体育场的大小，与其基本上只是偶尔使用的情况相比。这不是浪费空间吗？很明显，是的。

Text description provided by the architects. A football field has a fundamental and obvious purpose: to be a venue for football matches. But it has two other functions that are less obvious, but not for that reason any less important. One has to do with representation. A football stadium today is a work with certain iconic potential for the city. It does not only have quantitative dimensions. It also has qualitative ones. The second comes from the size of a stadium in relation to its largely only occasional use. Is it not a waste of space? Clearly, it is.

这项建议的基本理念是相信，体育场与其说是一座基础设施，不如说是一座建筑；一座可以用来容纳其他用途的建筑物，但最重要的是，它能够而且也应该发挥一种公民作用。该项目建议周边办公和其他公共日常用途在地面，所有的设计作为一个城市的“展示”，直接和直接从街道进入。在内部，体育场是一个巨大的“令人惊讶的空白”，在那里，除了体育比赛，可以举行各种公开的眼镜。

The basic idea of this proposal rests on the belief that a stadium is more a building than an infrastructure; a building that can be taken advantage of to house other uses, but that, above all, can and should also take on a civic role. The project proposes perimeter offices and other public everyday uses at ground level, all designed as an urban ‘showcase’ with direct and immediate access from the street. Internally the stadium is a large ‘surprise void’ where, in addition to sporting games, a variety of public spectacles can be held.

围绕这一工作的居住环境也需要一项具有城市特色的项目。这座建筑的巨大规模源自一种结构语言，它隐藏在周边，一个穿孔的铝制包层，此外，它还在内外创造了丰富的对话，充满细微差别和透明，加强了人们的努力，使体育场成为城市中的另一座建筑，规模很大，但想要融入其中。

The residential setting surrounding the work also calls for a project of urban character. The huge scale of the building, derived from a structural language, is hidden by the perimeter, a perforated aluminum cladding that, in addition, creates a rich dialogue, full of nuances and transparencies, between inside and outside, reinforcing efforts to make the stadium just another building in the city, large but wanting to blend in.

这些塔是照亮战场所必需的，它具有最具象征意义的作用。这些塔楼像大型矿物一样，具有雕塑的性质，从几公里外就可以看到，与帕伦西亚大教堂在整个景观中展开对话。

The towers, necessary to illuminate the field, have the most symbolic roles. Lit like large minerals with sculptural qualities, these towers can be seen from several kilometers away, engaging in dialogue across the landscape with Palencia’s cathedral.
