Description:
Located just outside the capital, this 36,500-seat baseball stadium is slated to be a venue for the Venezuelan winter baseball league and for international baseball events. Designed to world-class standards, the stadium is also specific to the unique conditions, opportunities and traditions of Venezuela. Drawing on the country’s rich colors, patterns and textures, the design is something of a cultural allegory. Cascading circulation ramps both embrace fans as they enter, and extend into the surrounding landscape and public park of which the stadium is a part. Concourses are open to the playing field, and to the city of Caracas beyond.
La Rinconada was a huge project with a rapid schedule and a large team in one complex BIM model. The drawings were required to be issued in both English and Spanish, a custom application was written that could swap out the English text for translated Spanish text without having to change any drawings. All major consultants were using Revit and regular VDC meetings were used to do all of the coordination.
