Football Stadium and Multipurpose Sports Hall Stožice | Ljubljana | Slovenia | Sagar Vuga

The Sports Park Stožice is a hybrid project. Its implementation is the result of the public-private partnership between the City of Ljubljana and the Grep development company. The Sports Park Stožice integrates a football stadium and a multi-purpose sports hall with a big shopping centre, covered by the artificial landscape of the recreational park. As a result 182,000sqm Sports Park Stožice becomes one of the major focal points of Ljubljana's urban life, attracting people of dif ferent interests and generation both during the daytime and in the evenings.......more

ADO Stadium | The Hague | Netherlands | Zwarts En Jansma

The exterior of the building is closed in character, with large, inviting glass entrances. In contrast with the façade, the interior of the stadium is surprisingly open, with clear routing and specific seats for the various groups of sports fans. Business people watch the game from lounges and skyboxes in the main building; families are seated in the family stands. The fanatical supporters of ADO have their own section, as have the supporters of the visiting team, who enter through a separate guest entrance......more

Sports Arena Design | 2013 Chinese National Games Judo Arena | Shenyang | China | Emergent

The site for the Chinese National Games Arena is located in a Shenyang University courtyard lined on three sides by University buildings and on one side by major arterial street which features the new 300kmh Shenyang High-Speed Rail line. The design is a simple volume which becomes increasingly articulated and transparent towards public spaces and its main entry.

The arena will house 3,000 fixed seats above the mezzanine level and 2,000 retractable seats below. It is designed for maximum flexibility to allow for both official Judo events in 2013 and for performing arts events, public lectures, and student sports events after the completion of the games. The retractable seating system allows for the conversion of a 51m x 31m gaming area into a 64m x 44m multifunctional space.......more

Aquatic Centre Design | Olympic Aquatic Centre | Stratford| London | Bennetts Associates Architects and Studio Zoppini

Bennetts Associates Architects and Studio Zoppini was in the shortlist of 6 practices for the international competition to design one of the key venues for the 2012 Games. The dramatic leaf-like form is a metaphor for the 'greening' of the Lea Valley as well as forming a 'gateway' into the Olympic Park. Design for legacy, temporary Games elements, sustainability and meeting the £70m budget were at the heart of the proposals.

Tripoli University | Physical Education and Stadium | Astudio Architecture

The building has been designed in order to create a central space between the main teaching wings and provide a focus for the International Gymnasium and Library functions. The central space can either be an internal enclosure within which open areas exist such as the library and café. Alternatively, it could simply be a sheltered outside space where the library and gymnasium become architectural objects within a courtyard. The teaching blocks themselves are broken down internally with double or treble height balconies/gardens to add variety to the circulation journey around the building. The ground and top floors are smaller in order to provide more open circulation at grade level, as well as an articulated internal section to provide high level breakout spaces and terraces.....more

Olympic VeloPark London 2012 | Hopkins Architects

One of the four permanent venues on the Olympic Park, the Velodrome provides a venue for the indoor track cycling events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The building seeks to form an elegant response to the brief using simple materials in an efficient manner to meet the client's aspirations within the available budget.

Cycling inspired the concept for the Velodrome. The bike is an ingenious ergonomic object, honed to unrivalled efficiency; we wanted the same application of design creativity and engineering rigour that goes into the design and manufacture of the bike to manifest itself in the building. Not as a mimicry of the bicycle but as a three dimensional response to the functional requirements of the venue whose
distinctive form has emerged from an integrated design team approach which focused on the performance and efficiency of every aspect of the building.....more

Estudio Lamela | Wroclaw Stadium

The main idea of the competition entry is that the stadium, due to it’s size not only constitutes a part of the landscape, but it actually is a landscape as such. Therefore the design has been started from the scale of the landscape. The origins of the design may be found in the stripe pattern of farm lands around Wroc³aw.
The area of the investment has been divided into functionally differing stripes in such way that the stadium constitutes their culmination.
Other functions which, according to the investor, were to complete the area’s offer, were located in it’s close surrounding.
These are: retail centre, hotel, sports centre, multistory parking for 3600 cars and 180 coaches, accordant with FIFA / UEFA norms.
The covering of the stadium is designed as 3-dimensional structure of bars, spanned 350meters and 50 meters high. It is complemented by glazed cover hanged on steel ropes, which covers the shorter tribunes. The covering has been designed in order to smoothly integrate it with surrounding land.
The tribunes for spectators have been divided into lower ring – recessed in the land and upper ring – supported by concrete skeleton connected to the structural scheme of the parking.
All the tribunes offer about 44.000 seats including 537 VIP ones and 826 seats for the media and press. The necessary service functions, as cloak-rooms, VIP lounges, areas for press and TV have been located on respective levels under the western tribune.
The stadium complies with FIFA / UEFA norms for semi-final games.
Planned budget for the investment – approx. 500 million PLN (138 million Euro)

The VeloPark to be based in the north of the Olympic Park, will include a 6,000 seat Velodrome to host the Olympic and Paralympic indoor track cycling events as well as a BMX circuit for Olympic events.

After the Games, the BMX circuit will be repositioned next to the Velodrome with a road cycle circuit and mountain bike course added to create a legacy VeloPark that will combine cycling facilities across all disciplines in one cycling ‘hub’, linked into cycle routes across London.

Design Considerations

The design of the stadium was selected from a series of concept designs ranging from acknowledgement of Jo’burg’s disappearing mine dumps; the kgotla (defined by the tree) of the African city state; the African map as a horizontal representation, which included the roof as a desert plane supported on tropical trees set within the mineral wealth of Southern Africa; to a representation of the protea, our national flower.

The calabash, or African pot, was selected as being the most recognizable object to represent what would automatically be associated with the African continent and not any other.

The calabash, or ‘melting pot of African cultures’, sits on a raised podium, on top of which is located a ‘pit of fire’. Thus the pot sits in a depression, which is the ‘pit of fire’, as if it were being naturally fired.
