"건축은 단순히 공간을 만드는 것이 아니라, 그 공간 속에서 피어날 삶과 공동체를 상상하는 일이다. 아카데미아 아틀라스는 벽돌과 콘크리트를 넘어, 청소년들의 꿈과 지역사회의 미래를 담아내는 그릇이 되고자 했다." - 페르난도 소르도 마달레노

Sordo Madaleno-Academia Atlas

red brick volumes and voids weave sordo madaleno's football campus in mexico 
academia atlas is the new home for atlas fc in mexico
Sordo Madaleno’s Academia Atlas in Guadalajara bridges sports infrastructure and community building. As the new home for Atlas FC, one of Mexico’s most long-standing football clubs, it is conceived as a collegiate-style campus featuring a training ground, six professional fields, clubhouses, and applied sports science facilities. Across these spaces, the project seeks to connect the country’s youth and foster talent, particularly targeting those from underprivileged backgrounds.

The Mexico City- and London based practice’s design concept experiments with conventional sports architecture typologies, adopting a fluid, modular system based on a structural grid. Open-air voids punctuate the monochromatic red campus, intertwining with enclosed and semi-exposed pockets of space framed with elemental columns and beams. This configuration optimizes materials while ensuring flexibility in programming, allowing the brick and concrete buildings to evolve with the changing needs of the club.

붉은 벽돌이 짓는 꿈의 경기장: 소르도 마달레노의 아카데미아 아틀라스

멕시코 할리스코주 사포판에 위치한 '아카데미아 아틀라스'는 멕시코의 전통 있는 축구 클럽 아틀라스 FC의 새로운 보금자리다. 소르도 마달레노 건축사무소가 설계한 이 공간은 단순한 스포츠 시설을 넘어 지역 공동체와 깊이 연결된 캠퍼스로 탄생했다.

대학 캠퍼스에서 영감을 받은 이 공간은 전문 훈련장, 6개의 프로 축구장, 선수들을 위한 클럽하우스, 그리고 스포츠 과학 연구 시설까지 갖추고 있다. 특히 사회적으로 혜택받지 못한 배경의 청소년들을 위한 프로그램에 초점을 맞춰, 멕시코 전역의 젊은 인재들이 축구를 통해 자신의 가능성을 발견할 수 있는 기회의 장으로 설계됐다.

전통과 혁신이 만나는 건축적 실험
멕시코시티와 런던에 기반을 둔 소르도 마달레노 건축사무소는 이 프로젝트에서 기존 스포츠 건축의 전형성에서 벗어난 과감한 실험을 시도했다. 구조적 그리드를 기반으로 한 유동적이고 모듈형 시스템을 도입하여, 붉은색 단색 캠퍼스 전체에 열린 공간(보이드)을 전략적으로 배치한 것이다.

이 개방형 공간들은 기둥과 보로 프레임된 폐쇄적인 공간 및 반노출 공간과 자연스럽게 어우러지며 독특한 공간감을 만들어낸다. 이러한 구성은 자재 사용을 최적화하면서도, 클럽의 변화하는 요구에 맞춰 공간이 유연하게 진화할 수 있도록 설계됐다. 벽돌과 콘크리트로 지어진 건물들은 시간이 지남에 따라 클럽의 필요에 맞게 적응할 수 있는 가능성을 품고 있다.

작은 마을 광장을 연상시키는 7헥타르의 캠퍼스
아카데미아 아틀라스는 7헥타르의 부지에 아틀라스 FC와 오를레기 스포츠의 협업으로 개발됐다. 직사각형 부지 안에는 그늘진 통로, 아늑한 중정, 그리고 녹지 공간이 자연스럽게 통합되어 마치 작은 마을 광장을 연상시키는 분위기를 자아낸다.

소르도 마달레노의 설계팀은 이러한 사이 공간(인터스티셜 스페이스)을 지역에서 조달한 재료와 전통적인 건축 기법을 사용해 구축했다. 이는 다양한 프로그램 간의 이동과 상호작용을 자연스럽게 촉진한다. 볼륨과 보이드 사이에 배치된 조각적인 외부 계단은 공간의 유동성과 연결성을 더욱 강화한다. 또한 격자형 지붕은 브리즈 솔레이(햇빛 차단장치) 역할을 하여, 건물의 밀집된 구역에서도 시각적 개방감을 유지하면서 적절한 그늘과 빛을 제공한다.

커뮤니티 중심지로 기능하는 축구 캠퍼스
서쪽 파사드에 위치한 관람석은 다양한 역할을 수행한다. 경기가 없을 때는 조용한 휴식 공간으로 기능하고, 경기 중에는 선수 가족들과 축구 팬들로 활기를 띤다. 이러한 공간의 이중적 활용은 공식 경기 외에도 시설이 지속적으로 활용되도록 하며, 과달라하라 지역 커뮤니티의 중심지로서 아카데미아 아틀라스의 역할을 강화한다.

오를레기 스포츠의 회장 알레한드로 이라라고리 구티에레즈는 "아카데미아 아틀라스는 적절한 시설 구축에서 시작해 엘리트 축구의 접근성을 높이는 장기적인 비전을 담고 있다. 이 프로젝트는 소르도 마달레노와 함께 지역 조달 과정을 통해 할리스코에 일자리를 창출하면서, 동시에 스포츠가 사회에서 가지는 중요한 역할을 보여주는 랜드마크를 지역에 제공하기 위해 구상됐다"라고 설명했다.

지역 정체성과 축구 클럽의 상징성을 담은 붉은색 디자인
소르도 마달레노가 아카데미아 아틀라스에 선택한 재료들은 지역의 정체성과 깊은 연관성을 가진다. 붉은색 계획은 축구팀의 정체성과 멕시코 전통 벽돌 공법을 동시에 참조하며 프로젝트의 특성을 정의한다.

현장에서 주조된 착색 콘크리트가 주요 구조를 형성하고, 조립 속도를 높이기 위해 프리캐스트 콘크리트 슬래브가 활용됐다. 특별히 비율, 색상, 구조적 효율성을 고려해 맞춤 설계된 붉은 벽돌은 건설 과정의 효율성을 높이고 폐기물을 최소화하면서도 강한 시각적 통일성을 유지한다.

자연과 건축의 조화로운 공존
주변 환경의 연장선으로 부지를 다루는 건축 개념과 함께, 아카데미아 아틀라스의 조경 전략은 환경적 영향을 고려한 자연 요소들을 세심하게 통합했다. 설계팀은 현지 자생종을 도입하여 최소한의 관리와 물 소비만으로도 연중 회복력을 가진 녹지를 조성했다.
식물들은 건축물의 구조적 요소를 타고 올라갈 수 있도록 식재되어, 비교적 단순한 주변 환경 속에서도 부지에 생동감과 영속성을 불어넣는다. 건축가 페르난도 소르도 마달레노는 "우리는 요소에 크게 노출된 광활한 평탄한 풍경 속에 특별한 공간을 만들고 싶었다. 아카데미아 아틀라스 내부에 녹지 공간을 들여와 식물과 자연이 우리에게 장소성과 소속감을 부여하는 데 얼마나 중요한지 보여주고자 했다"라고 설명했다.

페르난도 소르도 마달레노의 말처럼, 아카데미아 아틀라스는 단순한 스포츠 시설을 넘어 멕시코 청소년들의 꿈을 키우는 공간이자 지역사회의 미래를 담아내는 그릇으로서의 역할을 수행하고 있다. 붉은 벽돌로 지어진 이 캠퍼스는 축구라는 스포츠를 통해 공동체를 연결하고, 건축을 통해 사회적 가치를 구현하는 모범적인 사례로 평가받고 있다. 건축이 단순히 물리적 공간을 만드는 것을 넘어 그 안에서 피어날 삶과 공동체를 상상하는 일이라는 페르난도의 철학이 아카데미아 아틀라스의 모든 구석구석에 스며들어 있다.

sordo madaleno shapes an adaptable, interconnected campus
Academia Atlas spans seven hectares, developed in collaboration with Atlas FC and Orlegi Sports. Within its rectangular footprint, the complex integrates shaded passageways, intimate courtyards, and green spaces that emulate the feel of a small town square. The team at Sordo Madaleno has built these interstitial spaces from locally sourced materials and traditional construction techniques to foster movement and interaction across various programs. Between these volumes and voids, sculptural external staircases further reinforce a sense of fluidity and connectivity, complemented by the reticulated roof that acts as a brise-soleil. This element provides both shade and light while maintaining visual permeability in the building’s more densely constructed zones.
The western facade houses a spectator seating area that plays multiple roles. When unoccupied, it is a quiet recreation space; during matches, it comes to life as visiting families of players and football enthusiasts fill the stepped seats during matches. This duality ensures that the facility remains active even outside of official games, reinforcing its role as a community hub in Guadalajara. For Orlegi Sports Chairman Alejandro Irarragorri Gutiérrez, Academia Atlas represents a long term vision for accessibility in elite football, beginning with creating appropriate facilities. ‘The project has also been conceived by us together with Sordo Madaleno to create jobs in Jalisco through local procurement processes while giving the region an important landmark promoting the role of sport in society,’ they note.

the monochrome red scheme nods to the football club’s identity
Sordo Madaleno’s material choices for Academia Atlas are deeply tied to the region’s identity, with the red color scheme defining its character by referencing both the football team’s identity and traditional Mexican brickwork. Pigmented concrete, cast on site, forms the primary structure, while precast concrete slabs were chosen to expedite assembly. Custom-designed red bricks, tailored for proportion, color, and structural efficiency, also work to make the construction process more efficient by minimizing waste and maintaining strong visual cohesion.
Alongside the architectural concept treating the site as an extension of its surroundings, the landscape strategy also consciously accounts for natural elements for environmental impact. The design team incorporates endemic species, which ensures year round resilience with minimal maintenance and water consumption. Meanwhile, vegetation is planted so that it can climb structural elements, imbuing the site with a sense of permanence despite its relatively unmarked setting. ‘We wanted to create an enclosure within a vast flat landscape that is highly exposed to the elements, and we wanted to bring green areas inside Academia Atlas to show how important planting and wildlife are in giving us a sense of belonging somewhere,’ notes architect Fernando Sordo Madaleno.
