“La Caja Mágica” (The Magic Box) is the new tennis complex that will hold the Madrid Masters Series in 2008. However it will be finished in 2009. The Magic Box is part of the buildings that the city of Madrid is building to be able to hold the Olympics in 2016.
How much...? 160 millon euros.
The "magic box" or in French the “bôite magique”, was named by its creator, Dominique Perrault. In fact it´s a huge "recipient" that has three tennis courts in its interior. An exterior cover makes it a unit. The main building will be sorrounded by a lake.
Its ceiling is mobile and has 103x73 ms. It will take just 15 minutes to open or close it.
Madrid supporting the Olympic dream!
