Commission after competition Getafe City Council undertakes to commission the Basic and Execution projects for the new facility. If, as a result of the winning proposal, the need to modify the General Urban Development Plan of Getafe (PGOUG), or any other previous document, is detected in order to carry out its materialisation, this will also be commissioned.

Inhabited milieu's challenges The project site is a bullring that has been unused since 2015, as a result of structural seating, which is in need of a cultural renaissance. The location of the bullring has as a strength the possibility of REconverting it into a metropolitan facility. Its emplacement, with a suburban train stop and transport interchange, places the site 15 minutes from the centre of Madrid.
An architecture that will act as a hub for knowledge, bringing together business, academia, society and the third sector towards a sustained vision of the city from a balance of the three aspects: economic, social and environmental. A vision in key RE: REbirth, REsourcing, REcycling, REnaturalising, REqualifying.... in a new context.
