This project proposes a high performance center for athletes from Extreme Sports. One of his biggest inspirations and goals was to face the reality of such a hard training through the Hell (Inferno) that Dante Aligeri showed in the Divine Comedy, in fact, it is one of the rivers that surrounds this Hell which gives the name to this project.<\/p>\n

Using this dark scenario and adding some history from the area the project is located at, the shipwrecks from the pirate era in the caribbean sea, the space inside and outside the project guides these athletes through 9 different areas of training, as much as circles in Dante\u2019s Hell, getting deeper and deeper inside the sacrifice to achieve excelence in their different disciplines. I had an inside ambition to look for human limits and get a dark sharp beauty from it, using local materials from the island and being respectful with the environment.<\/p>\n
