New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum

The New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum of Columbus Headquarters was a large building designed by Kevin Roche and built-in between 1965 and 1972 in New Haven. Connected with the symbolic Knights of Columbus tower, the same architect created it. In 2005, the vast complex, after years of deterioration and abandonment, it was demolished. The tower remains in the same place and is still an iconic building of the postmodern American architecture and the city of New Haven. El Coliseo Memorial de los Veteranos fue un gran edificio proyectado por Kevin Roche y construido entre 1965 y 1972 en New Haven. Estaba conectado con la emblemática torre Knights of Columbusu s del mismo arquitecto. En 2005 este gran complejo, tras años de deterioro y posterior abandono terminó siendo derribado. La torre de kevin Roche se mantuvo en pie y continúa siendo un símbolo de la arquitectura posmoderna americana y la propia ciudad de New Haven. The building, located between one of the highways that cross the city from north to south and the Yale campus, had a strong horizontal presence that was a counterpoint to the Knights of Columbus tower. A public street crossed the complex and softened its heaviness. The stadium, its entrances and two large multi-program spaces in the south occupy the rest of the ground floor. Two large car ramps in the opposite corners of the building link composition of the building with the Knights of Columbus tower: this has a square and for circles in its corners; the coliseum has three different-size squares and two rings in its corners. The third corner is empty, and the tower sits in its fourth one, like a fractal reduction of the complex. El edificio se localizaba entre una de las autopistas que cruzan la ciudad de norte a sur y el campus de Yale. El proyecto tenía una fuerte presencia horizontal que funcionaba de contrapeso frente a la torre Knights of Columbus .
