The A Gandareira football pitch is located on the edge of the urban area of the town of Bandeira-Concello de Silleda, in that undefined space between the rural and the urban, in that dispersed geography, which is so characteristic of the Galician habitat.

An anonymous piece, without birth certificate or author, immersed in the timelessness of the Galician rural landscape itself, while at the same time acting as the limit of an urbanity that is irremissibly advancing, albeit now in a disconcerted lethargy.

Built to meet the needs of a modest local sports society, which competes in all categories of regional grassroots football, it is proposed as a low-cost, low-maintenance public facility that seeks to re-signify the place, giving it order and identity with geometry and gravity as its only tools. We start from an objective, concrete architecture, far from inspiration, from self-expression, which implies honesty and the ethics of the material as a value. That is, of its own construction.

Juan Rodríguez

Just two project actions: the delimitation of an enclosure following the regulatory measures and the location of the stands and changing rooms in a semi-buried piece of in situ concrete walls, of great inertia, on which a roof of pre-stressed inverted "T" beams is supported by simple gravity. An absolutely architraved construction, a house of cards in pure equilibrium that wants to be a place. A place where playing football is a party.
