A sport s hall located in an ex austro hungarian military peninsula in Pula, Croatia. The challange was to contextualize on the task by giving the object a second use. After studying the location I decided to work out a project which would integrate itself with the nature as much as possible. The ispiration came from the fotifications still preserved and concealed by nature. The socialism architecture of Bogdan Bogdanovic, especially his monuments served as a guide in creating a 'long term' architecture by building in re enforced concrete with only a glass surface ameba where there is a need for heated space.
The idea for the second use became relevant for the project through passing of time. As the object itself decays, as the austro hungarian fortification do, it becomes a shelter and a sort of a tourist focus for the exploration of the peninsula.
