Tennis Academy, Tennis as away of life

Physical and mental preparation plays a fundamental role in the performance of a high-level athlete. The high demands to which they are subjected everyday force us to take care of even the smallest detail to guarantee that their performance is the best possible. Nutrition, rest, emotional balance, or injury prevention are important facets that have to be worked on carefully. And putting top-level facilities and professionals at the service of students is the only way to achieve this.

China has developed spectacular growth in recent decades and concentrates on frenetic economic activity, this breeding ground provides a unique opportunity to turn the Academy into a global reference point, where the latest technological advances are founded with a top-level sports entity. For this reason, it is proposed to create a “Technological Hub” that brings together, connects, and promotes start-ups dedicated to innovation around sports and health.

While it is true that reaching the tennis elite is one of the objectives of young promises; The success of the Academy's philosophy lies in instilling the importance of enjoying the path travelled, which guarantees the training of excellent professionals.

Therefore, it seems natural that the next step towards expanding the Academy's offering is to accompany athletes in their integration into the world of work in different professions related to sports, Health Sciences, Physical Activity Sciences and Sports or those jobs related to education.

We live in a society of leisure. The development of the world market results in the globalization of cultures and ways of life; and of course, leisure.

In this context, sport becomes a driving force for attracting tourists, activities, and events. The practice of sport moves an increasing number of tourists in search of new experiences.

The design of an infrastructure that brings together economic activities from the leisure and tourism sectors, under a single and unitary business model around elite sport, is considered an unexplored and long-term path.

The Academy project, due to the values it represents, must be a reference in its architectural design. Around 50% of CO2 emissions in the world are related to the construction sector.

Becoming aware of this, betting on buildings with a low ecological footprint is an unavoidable responsibility. For this reason, concepts such as energy efficiency, the use of materials with low environmental impact or the generation of clean energy make up the main strategy of the center’s architecture.

Achieving an image that goes beyond an athlete, reaching a school image that associates values and a feeling of belonging is one of the keys to transcending history.

In this way, the project seeks to establish and amplify its projection in the world. The creation of a community is proposed, which develops both physically and virtually, offering a space for relationships and dialogue for all fans. A museum is also incorporated into the project; in addition to a large capacity stadium that can host a large professional tournament.
