The urban layout proposal modi es existing mobility networks and provides a physical limit to the small town of Grosio, by placing the new sports facility building as a corner stone. The sports centre’s and parking’s impact are reduced by taking advantage of (and underlining) an existing change in elevation. The centre’s main elevation is marked by a single sloping eaves line.
