At the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix, the Barcelona pit buildings are not just a technical feature, but also an architectural engineering project by Arup. The goal is to cut environmental impact without giving up efficiency and safety in the paddock.
The pit buildings are presented as an example of how motorsport is changing: more attention to materials, flexibility of use and sustainability. A topic that is becoming increasingly important for European circuits, including the Catalan venue.
