The official publication of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) includes an in-depth look at the economic success stories of Formula 1 racetracks across the United States, including Circuit of The Americas, designed by Miró Rivera Architects. The story includes commentary from principal Juan Miró:

“At the time, people in the U.S. knew very little about Formula 1, and Austin didn’t even have a professional sports team. We saw an opportunity to create a place for people to gather, and that is always welcome in a city…The spirit of the design is about this up-and-coming dynamic city that is trying to express [its readiness] for this type of international attention and, at the same time, it is a venue that is about more than just racing. For us as architects, it was very important to create a place for the community to come together beyond the race.”
