RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The result was obtained after 3 different roads explored with the design department from Ninja, the agency.
The most important way to get there was the need to be inmune to the wind, sun and heat, there's no rain during this season in Acapulco.
the pattern of the lateral panels describe the bounce of the ball in the tennis court.
The ceiling was inspired by sail boats, but for monetary reason all the ropes to extend and retract were changed by a fix arrangement.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part was to create a structure on a limited budget of 17,000 american dollars with floor and a ceiling, transportable, reusable in different kind of events and fairs; that's why the stand allows multiple configurations.
