Here's a plan to turn bullfighting arenas into drone hubs

A bullfight is a deadly sort of acrobatics, a slaughter as spectacle. Catalonia outlawed the practice in 2011, which left Barcelona with a monumental problem: what, exactly, should the city do with its iconic La Monumental bullfighting arena, now that there would be no bullfights? An architecture student's concept reimagines La Monumental as not just a relic of the past but a beacon of the future: he wants to turn it into a drone hub. Frederick Ajjoub, who is currently working toward an Architect Masters at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, posted an open-source concept for his reimagination of La Monumental, centered around flying unmanned vehicles. To preserve the historic building, Ajjoub's concept leaves the existing structure itself intact, and balances a multi-story apparatus on the causeway around the arena.
