pubs.rights-statement	Velodromes are infrastructures of limited use, which nonetheless require an enormous technical and economic effort. This project recognizes this paradoxical status, proposing a building that balances the ratio of investment to public use. The New Velodrome for Medellín synthesizes two seemingly incompatible spatial conditions: an insular, formally specific sports infrastructure; and a permeable, open public space. Public spaces in Medellín are characterized by an intensity of use, often attained with limited investment. This project transforms the typology of the sports facility in order to integrate it into the existing Park of the Wheels precinct, intensifying the public nature of this space and distributing the technical and economic investment along it. Its value has been attested by the following indicators: first prize in the international competition for a velodrome in Medellin, Colombia; inclusion in the Treatise Exhibition at the Graham Foundation, Chicago, USA and in New Practices New York 2014 exhibition of the AIA New York; and its publication at AV Projectos.	en_US
