The Ciudad Real Madrid Florentino Pérez is Real Madrid's training complex, located outside Madrid in Valdebebas near Barajas airport. Also hosting the club's youth academy, known conceptually as La Fábrica, the facility replaced the old Ciudad Deportiva (Spanish: Sports City), which was in use until 2003.
The sale of Ciudad Deportiva, under the auspices of Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, led to Real earning approximately €480 million.

Inaugurated in 2005, the training centre consists of academy offices, equipment rooms, audio-visuals rooms, a strength and rehab centre, and medical (which consist of examination rooms, treatment rooms, additional rehab facilities and equipment, and a hydrotherapy center that includes hot and cool pools, a cold plunge, and a long but narrow resistance wave pool) and training facilities, as well as 12 and one third fields - three full-size synthetic turf fields and four full-size natural grass field for the youth, and for the first team, one third full-size synthetic turf field and three full-size natural grass fields. Ciudad Real Madrid also includes the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium where Real Madrid Castilla (Real Madrid's reserve team) plays its home matches.
The Real Madrid first team residential building at Real Madrid Sports City is 8300 square meters in size, and has 57 rooms distributed across the first and second floors, each with their own lounge area and terrace. The building also has a cinema, a dining room capable of accommodating 54 people, a common rest area, a climate-controlled pool, reception, two guest rooms, and several common terraces.

Spanish basketball league system

The Spanish basketball league system is a series of connected competitions for professional basketball clubs in Spain. The system has a hierarchical format with a promotion and relegation system between competitions at different levels.
There are currently four different nation-wide leagues in the system - the 1st tier Liga ACB, the 2nd tier LEB Oro, the 3rd tier LEB Plata and the 4th tier Liga EBA.
Liga ACB is organized by the Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto (Basketball Clubs Association), which is a private organization. LEB leagues and Liga EBA are organized by the Spanish Basketball Federation while the lower tiers are organized by the regional federations.
For the 2018–19 season, the Spanish basketball league system is as follows:
For the 2015–16 season, the lower divisions for each of the Autonomous Communities is as follows:
Since the 2001–02 season, there are currently different competitions on the pyramid.
Primera FEB

The Primera FEB, formerly known as LEB or LEB Oro, is the second basketball division of the Spanish basketball league system after the Liga ACB. It is run by the FEB. The FEB leagues are divided into three categories (the other two are the Segunda FEB and the Tercera FEB). The league was founded in 1996 and is played under FIBA rules.
The league is contested by 18 clubs. Each season, the top-finishing team in the Primera FEB are automatically promoted to the Liga ACB. The teams that finish the season in 2nd to 9th place enter a playoff tournament, with the winner also gaining promotion to the Liga ACB. The three lowest-finishing teams in the Primera FEB are relegated to Segunda FEB.
A total of 81 teams have competed in Primera FEB since its inception in 1996. 19 teams have been crowned champions and 30 teams have gained promotion to Liga ACB, of which only four teams could not play in Liga ACB. Club Melilla Baloncesto is the only team that played all seasons of the league.
Each team of has to play with all the other teams of its division twice, once at home and the other at the opponent's arena.
Each victory adds two points to the team in the league ranking, while each loss adds only one. At the end of the league:
At the half of the league, the two first teams in the table play the Copa Princesa at home of the winner of the first half season. The Champion of this Cup will play the play-offs as first qualified if it finishes the league between the 2nd and the 5th qualified.
The two first teams are promoted to ACB. Since 2007–08, the regular season champion promotes to ACB without playing the playoffs. The winner of the Playoffs Finals is the other promoted team.
The All-time Primera FEB table is an overall record of all match results of every team that has played in Primera FEB since the 1996–97 season. The table is accurate as of the end of the 2019–20 season.
League or status at 2019–20 season:
Before 1996, teams promoted to Liga ACB from other second division leagues. The number of teams promoted varies each year.
The Segunda FEB, formerly known as LEB 2 and LEB Plata, is the Spanish basketball third league since 2001, the second division of the leagues organized by the Spanish Basketball Federation. The best teams promotes to Primera FEB and the last qualified ones are relegated to Tercera FEB.
In 2007, the Spanish Basketball Federation decided to create a third LEB with 18 teams, like the other two. Since that day, renamed LEB as LEB Oro (LEB Gold) and LEB-2 as LEB Plata (LEB Silver). This new league was called LEB Bronce, three first teams were promoted each year to LEB Plata and the four last teams were relegated to Liga EBA.
LEB Bronce had also its Cup, like the other LEBs. In 2009, after two seasons, LEB Bronce was removed due to the difficulties of the teams that enjoyed the new league.
Basketball in Spain

Basketball is the second most popular sport in Spain, directly behind association football. The top Spanish League, Liga ACB, is a member of ULEB, and the top Spanish League teams can compete in Europe, most notably in the Euroleague and Eurocup, and also under the FIBA Europe umbrella, in the FIBA Europe Cup. The Spanish teams also compete in a national domestic cup competition each year, called the Copa del Rey de Baloncesto, which is played by the top eight teams in the standings of the Liga ACB, at the end of the first half of the regular season.
For the 2018–19 season, the Spanish basketball league system is as follows:
Like in football, several Autonomous Communities have their own autonomous team. These teams are not recognized by FIBA Europe, and only play in friendly games.
Between 2008 and 2010, the Torneo de las Naciones was played between the teams of Basque Country, Catalonia, and Galicia, and a foreign national team was invited. The following Autonomous Communities have played at least one friendly game:
Also, Menorca has got a basketball team which plays biennially in the Island Games.
On the other hand, Gibraltar has its own national team recognized by FIBA Europe. Gibraltar plays biannually in the European Basketball Championship for Small Countries and, like Menorca, the Island Games.
PAI Partners

PAI Partners is a French private equity firm based in Paris. It is one of the oldest firms in the sector, with its origins dating back to Paribas Affaires Industrielles, historically the principal investment arm of Paribas, which started operations in 1872.
PAI manages €25.4 billion of dedicated buyout funds. Since 1994, PAI has completed 65 LBO transactions in 11 European countries, representing over €48 billion in transaction value. PAI has 62 agents from 10 countries and teams in Paris, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Stockholm and New York City.
PAI was formerly known as Paribas Affaires Industrielles, and was historically the principal investment arm of Paribas. PAI LBO Fund, established in 1998, was the first PAI investment vehicle managing third party capital. Prior to 1998, PAI invested exclusively on the balance sheet of BNP Paribas.
Paribas merged with Banque Nationale de Paris in 2000. In 1993, Amaury de Sèze joined Paribas Affaires Industrielles as chairman and chief executive officer. Under his leadership, PAI developed a strategy in private equity that capitalized on the team's familiarity with industrial sectors.
Paribas Affaires Industrielles led the €610 million buyout of Danone's pasta and condiment unit in 1997, at that time the largest leveraged buyout ever completed in France. The following year, the firm finalized fundraising for its first third party investment fund, raising €650 million of investor commitments. PAI completed a full spinout from BNP in 2000 and the following year raised a new €1.8 billion private equity fund.
In September 2009, Lionel Zinsou became CEO and Chairman of the firm. In 2015, Michel Paris became CEO after Lionel Zinsou stepped down to become prime minister in Benin.
In March 2015, PAI raised its fifth LBO fund, PAI Europe VI, reaching €3.3 billion, above the initial target of €3 billion. In September 2017, PAI announced the raising of a seventh investment vehicle: PAI Europe VII. In March 2018, PAI closed their PAI Europe VII fund.
Prior to 1998, PAI made investments via the Paribas Portfolio. The Paribas Portfolio was funded directly from Paribas’ balance sheet, largely unleveraged and comprising 51 investments, all of which have now been realised. Reflecting the broader investment remit of PAI at the time, it included control and non-control investments. Since 1998, PAI has raised five private equity funds, as detailed below:
Historically, PAI managed Paribas's stakes in large food and consumer goods companies across Europe: Royal Canin (European leader in dry pet food), Diana Ingredients (natural food ingredients), Evialis (animal feed), Saupiquet (ready meals), LDC (premium poultry), Navidul (cured ham – Spain), SOS Arana (rice – Spain) and helped them consolidate their respective sector. In 2021 PAI completed its largest ever investment with the $3.3 billion acquisition of Tropicana, Naked and other North American juice brands from PepsiCo. Previous transactions in consumer goods and services, healthcare as well as general industrial companies are highlighted below:

Real Madrid (South Africa)

Real Madrid is a semi-professional association football club, based in the Galeshewe suburb of Kimberley, in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The club was initially established in 1987 with the name Ipogeng Stars. As the founder and current president of the club, Andrew Seleka, was a big fan of Real Madrid, he decided to rename the club Real Madrid in 1989. After having ended the 2005–06 season as fourth, in the Free State province of the Vodacom League, they were hit by financial troubles, and had to sell their league status.
They underwent a change of ownership in June 2006, after which they gained promotion from the SAB Regional League in 2008. In both the 2008–09 and 2010–11 seasons, Real Madrid managed to win the Northern Cape province of Vodacom League, but subsequently fell short at the Promotional Play-offs, to also win promotion for the National First Division. Currently they still compete in the SAFA Second Division.
The highest competing level of Real Madrid in 1987–2011, was at the third level of South African football. Due to a lack of sources, their league results from 1987 to 2005 are not included below.
At the Promotional play-offs in 2008–09, Real Madrid were defeated in all of their four played games.
After the 2010–11 season, uncertainty existed for a while, if the club indeed had won the Northern Cape division and qualified for the play-offs. The log listed them with 75 points, being 1 point more than their league rivals Steach United. When the two teams met in spring 2011, the match had been abrupt in second half with the score 2–2, and after the season, Steach United lodged an appeal to have a replay of the match. SAFA however decided, to let the result achieved on the playing field stand, and thus Real Madrid managed to win the division with 1p ahead of Steach United. At the Promotional play-offs in 2010–11, the team delivered a repeat of the disappointing performance in 2008–09, as they again lost all of their four played games.
The club always played their home games at stadiums in Kimberley. During their spell in 2006–08 at the SAB Regional League, the exact name of the stadium is however unknown. Ever since the clubs return to Vodacom League in June 2008, they have been playing all home games at Galeshewe Stadium. As a curiosity, this home venue is currently being shared, with the clubs fellow league rivals from Steach United.

Celtic F.C. (Jersey City)

The Celtic Football Club, commonly called the Jersey City Celtics, was an American soccer club based in Jersey City, New Jersey. The club was organized in the summer of 1921 to be an inaugural member of the professional American Soccer League. The club folded after five games.
The owners of Celtics put over $6,000 into establishing their team which played in a baseball stadium. In July 1921, they played Third Lanark in preparation for the upcoming season. After losing its first five games, the ownership withdrew the team from the league, dissolved it, and forfeited its franchise in early December. Like a number of the ASL teams that season the Celtics lost considerable money. The system was for home teams to get the gate receipts instead of a percent to both teams. Since the Celtics were not able to use their home ground well into late October they played all their ASL games away.

Eladio Dieste

Eladio Dieste (Artigas, Uruguay, 1 de diciembre de 1917 - Montevideo, 19 de julio de 2000) fue un ingeniero civil uruguayo reconocido mundialmente por el uso de lo que él denominó cerámica armada.
Dieste egresó de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de la República en 1943.​
La obra de Dieste toma el ladrillo y lo lleva a su máxima liviandad en la creación de superficies curvas a partir de una nueva tecnología que el denominó cerámica armada; construcciones abovedadas realizadas con ladrillo, armadura de acero y un mínimo de hormigón.
Este sistema constructivo consigue diseñar finas láminas a partir de la combinación de ladrillo, hierro y mortero, las que se construyen sobre un encofrado móvil. La base de estas superficies es el diseño; se trata de estructuras capaces de resistir las solicitaciones que se ejercen sobre ellas gracias a su forma y no a su masa, lo que conlleva un requerimiento menor de materiales.
Este tipo de construcciones tuvo mucha aceptación porque permiten mayor liviandad, prefabricación y sistematización en la repetición de sus componentes, con costos competitivos para el mercado. Su obra es objeto de estudio en distintas universidades y lo llevó a recibir el título de arquitecto honorario, siendo el único en poseerlo en Uruguay.​
Entre sus obras, destacan la iglesia del Cristo Obrero y la iglesia de San Pedro del Durazno, ambas en Uruguay. En España construyó cinco iglesias en el corredor del Henares y otras construcciones para la Universidad de Alcalá.​
También se ocupó de la gestión de procesos y de la innovación en técnicas constructivas.​
El 1 de junio de 1993, recibió el doctorado honoris causa de la Universidad de la República;​ y el 9 de diciembre de 1999, fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la Universidad de Montevideo.​
El año 2005 fue designado como «año Eladio Dieste» por parte del Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York, la Universidad de Princeton y el MIT de Massachusetts, como forma de homenajear a su obra.​
El 27 de julio de 2021, la "Obra del ingeniero Eladio Dieste: iglesia de Atlántida" fue consagrada como patrimonio de la humanidad por la 44.ª sesión del Comité del Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
En el año 2006, los días 7 y 8 de octubre se celebró en Uruguay el Día del Patrimonio bajo el lema «Tradición e Innovación» Eladio Dieste: el señor de los ladrillos.​ Durante los días previos la prensa realizó una cobertura especial sobre la vida de Dieste, y sus obras, distribuidas a lo largo y ancho del país, fueron visitadas durante todo el fin de semana. Dicha celebración contribuyó muy eficazmente a la valoración y difusión de la obra de Dieste en Uruguay.
En 2004 la editorial Princeton Architural Press publicó el primer estudio monográfico de su obra escrito en inglés. La publicación repasa la trayectoria de Dieste a través de escritos realizados por Stanford Anderson, Edward Allen y John Ochsendorf, entre otros.​
En 2011 se publicó el libro Escritos sobre arquitectura. Eladio Dieste, compilado por László Erdélyi y Graciela Silvestri.​
Cerámica armada

La técnica constructiva de la cerámica armada o cerámica estructural, descubierta y desarrollada por el ingeniero uruguayo Eladio Dieste, consiste en la colocación de armaduras de acero en la unión de las hileras de ladrillo. El comportamiento de las hiladas de ladrillo armado, es semejante al de una viga de concreto armado.​ El descubrimiento de este sistema constructivo, así como su desarrollo, introducción y utilización le debió al ingeniero Dieste el reconocimiento mundial de la Unesco​ y la comunidad internacional. Su obra es objeto de estudio en distintas universidades y lo llevó a recibir el título de arquitecto honorario, siendo el único en poseerlo en Uruguay.
Este sistema constructivo consigue diseñar finas láminas a partir de la combinación de ladrillo, hierro y mortero, las que se construyen sobre un encofrado móvil. La base de estas superficies es el diseño; se trata de estructuras capaces de resistir las solicitaciones que se ejercen sobre ellas gracias a su forma y no a su masa, lo que conlleva un requerimiento menor de materiales.
El número de hiladas en las que se coloca la armadura es en función de la luz que se debe vencer. Al mortero de estas hiladas de ladrillos se le incrementa la dosificación de cemento. La armadura colocada debe ser de una aleación resistente a la corrosión.
Este tipo de construcciones tuvo mucha aceptación porque permiten mayor liviandad, prefabricación y sistematización en la repetición de sus componentes, con costos competitivos para el mercado.

Arquitectura escolar en Uruguay

La arquitectura escolar en Uruguay es una de las redes de infraestructura públicas más importantes del país, con 2.770 centros educativos distribuidos en el país, según datos de la ANEP de 2019.​El establecimiento de edificios escolares desde finales del siglo XIX generó un aporte considerable al desarrollo de la arquitectura en Uruguay.​
El establecimiento de los edificios escolares en el Uruguay comienza hacia fines del siglo XIX, junto con la reforma vareliana impulsada por José Pedro Varela y Jacobo Varela.​Hasta ese momento, no existía un sistema de enseñanza pública establecido como tal, y diferentes informes encargados por Varela y otras autoridades reseñan la falta de edificios públicos adecuados para las actividades escolares.​
Hacia 1950-1960 se produce una renovación de la arquitectura escolar, impulsada por la colaboración entre Julio Castro y los arquitectos Hugo Rodríguez Juanotena y Gonzalo Rodríguez Orozco del Ministerio de Obras Públicas. Esta colaboración estuvo fuertemente influenciada por el libro de Castro El banco fijo y la mesa colectiva, donde Castro propone cambiar la relación espacial entre los educandos y el docente, para cambiar la experiencia pedagógica. Orozco y Juanotena tomaron estas concepciones de la escuela nueva defendida por Castro para renovar los edificios escolares.​
En 1965 se crea un fondo especial para la creación de escuelas rurales a través del Plan Bicentenario de Artigas, un plan en conmemoración del nacimiento de José Artigas.​El ingeniero Eladio Dieste realizó una serie de sugerencias para minimizar el traslado de materiales y permitir que las escuelas fueran construidas por los mismos habitantes de las localidades rurales, reduciendo la complejidad y los costos de los proyectos. Este plan redujo significativamente las condiciones de insalubridad de las edificaciones escolares rurales, que a menudo consistían simplemente en estructuras de barro y paja.​

Participaron en el grupo Horacio Baliero, Juan Manuel Borthagaray, Francisco Bullrich, Alberto Casares Ocampo, Alicia Cazzaniga, Gerardo Clusellas, Carmen Córdova, Jorge Goldemberg, Jorge Grisetti y Eduardo Polledo.​
Participaron en el Centro de Estudiantes de Arquitectura, que publicaba un boletín y se vincularon con personalidades como Amancio Williams, Antoni Bonet y Tomás Maldonado quienes influyeron en el desarrollo del grupo. En especial este último que en 1951 funda la revista nv, nueva visión, con el propósito de promover la síntesis de las artes. Los integrantes de oam participaron de este proyecto.​
Jorge Grisetti fundó a mitad de la década del 50 la Editorial Nueva Visión, que difundió las novedades de la cultura arquitectónica, siendo sus publicaciones una referencia en países de habla hispana.
Los vínculos con la Bauhaus y con el racionalismo de Alemania y Suiza, se manifestaron especialmente en la relación del grupo con la Asociación de Arte Concreto "Invención". Le Corbusier y Wright fueron las principales referencias del grupo.
Tenían su sede en el petit hôtel de Cerrito 1371 que albergaba el estudio de oam, la exposición de sus muebles, la redacción de nv, la sede de la editorial, el taller de Tomás Maldonado, los conciertos de la agrupación Nueva Música, los talleres provisionales de los artistas Hlito, Girola, Iommi, y de los entonces estudiantes Justo Solsona y Eduardo Bell.​ El espacio era uno de los lugares de debate más vanguardistas de Buenos Aires.
Arquitectura moderna estadounidense

La arquitectura moderna estadounidense fue un movimiento o estilo arquitectónico que tuvo lugar en los Estados Unidos de América aproximadamente entre la última década del siglo XIX y la penúltima década del siglo XX.
El término hace referencia a los edificios y arquitectos de las décadas del modernismo en inglés, que nada tuvo que ver con el significado del término modernismo (vinculado al Art Nouveau y al Arts and Crafts ) en la península ibérica, antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial .
El término modernismo que da origen al movimiento moderno y a la arquitectura moderna tiene su origen original a partir del nombre del libro de Henry-Russel Hitchock y Philip Johnson en el que se identifica, categoriza y expone bajo características comunes al modernismo en todo el mundo. Como resultado, se centró más en los aspectos estilísticos del modernismo. Los principios básicos del estilo internacional juntos constituyen parte del movimiento moderno. ​
El movimiento moderno o estilo internacional no tiene un nombre homogéneo en todos los países e idiomas. En muchos países se utiliza el término "estilo internacional", que tuvo su origen en la exposición organizada por Hitchcock y Johnson en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York en 1932 y en el libro publicado por ambos El estilo internacional: arquitectura desde 1922 . Un término sinónimo es " Movimiento Moderno ", del libro Pioneros del Movimiento Moderno de William Morris a Walter Gropius ( 1936 ), de Nikolaus Pevsner . Este último tiene un significado más amplio e incluiría, además del racionalismo o el estilo internacional, los movimientos de vanguardia de las dos primeras décadas del siglo XX.
Arquitectura moderna de Brasil

La arquitectura moderna de Brasil fue una producción artística, ocurrida en el período 1930-1960. Recibió la influencia directa del movimiento moderno europeo, en particular de Le Corbusier.​ En el Brasil se puede encontrar como ejemplo de arquitectura moderna el Museo Oscar Niemeyer.​
La arquitectura brasileña es famosa, pero esta fama se basa en el trabajo de unos pocos arquitectos - Oscar Niemeyer, Lúcio Costa, Affonso Reidy y otros dos cuyos proyectos fueron construidos en la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
De hecho, el desarrollo de una crítica de la arquitectura moderna en Brasil era impensable porque este estilo fue reconocido desde el primer momento como genuinamente nacional. Como dijo Banham en 1962, Brasil fue el primer país en crear un «estilo nacional de la arquitectura moderna».​ Desde 1920, el desarrollo del modernismo en toda expresión artística brasileña estaba ligada a la búsqueda de un proyecto nacional; cualquier crítica de este proyecto fue considerado como una traición. La censura y el miedo a la persecución pusieron fin a la crítica, y muchos arquitectos alineados con la izquierda fueron exiliados (como Oscar Niemeyer) u obligados a dejar de trabajar.​
Academia de arquitectura de Berlín

Academia de arquitectura de Berlín (en alemán "Berliner Bauakademie"), obra emblemática del arquitecto Friedrich Schinkel. El edificio fue diseñado por orden del Rey de Prusia.
Ejecutado entre 1831 y 1836 en Berlín la capital de Alemania, es considerado como uno de los edificios precursores de la arquitectura moderna en Europa debido a la novedosa utilización del ladrillo y a su fachada racionalista. Destacaba también por su innovadora estructura metálica que le permitió alcanzar varios niveles de altura.
Dañada por los bombardeos aliados sobre Berlín durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Bauakademie fue parcialmente reconstruida. En 1962 el edificio fue totalmente demolido para construir lo que sería el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores del gobierno de la República Democrática Alemana (RDA).​
En 1995 el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de la RDA fue derribado con el objeto de reconstruir lo que fue el Werderscher Markt. En este proyecto, ya parcialmente realizado, está prevista la reconstrucción de la Bauakademie en su emplazamiento original cerca de la Iglesia de Friedrichswerder que sobrevivió a la guerra. Al otro lado del río Spree se está actualmente reconstruyendo también el Palacio Real de Berlín.
