 TOPIC 1 - FOOTBALL STADIUM
INTRODUCTION
The study of the history of civilization reveals the existence of an intimate tie between the
development of the spirit of mankind and the practice of sport. Sports can be defined as
playing of games or participation in competitive past times involving physical exertion and
skill. Sport basically is a fundamental part of our day to day life and it is absolutely essential
to the mental and physical well-being or our present day society.

Sports stadiums have been called our modern-day cathedrals. While this may be a bold
statement, it is true that stadiums draw together people of all ages, cultures and creeds. But
today’s stadiums are much more than the actual buildings. From simply being places where
humans gather to watch events, most newly built stadiums are architectural icons repre-
senting the aspirations for cities, regions or even nations, all the while sustainability takes on
increasing importance.

Football is immensely popular sport in India, second only to cricket it is especially popular in
north-eastern states, West Bengal, Goa and Kerala. Salt lake stadium of Kolkata and Indira
Gandhi stadium are some of the big stadiums of football stadiums of football in India are
having multitude of crisis due to insufficient planning, poor services and because of
multipurpose.

Due to the negligence of authorities football as a sport has taken a backseat and it has been
denied funds continuously. Lack os facilities is glaringly visible where looking at the few
stadiums in country. Only the likes Camp Nou, Old Trafford, Allianz arena, Signal Iduna
Park, Sentiago Bernbau, Wembley stadium, Ethiad Stadium etc.

Now the situation is dramatically changing due to hosting of under-17 world cup and rapidly
growing popularity of the Indian super league Invertors are ready to Invest in Infrastructure
of football. Football academics are mushrooming in all cities of country and talent is
promoted.
 AIM
My undergrad Thesis project is to Design a Football stadium at Ahmadabad, Gujarat, India.
The site is 120,000 sq.m. [30 acre].

OBJECTIVE
 Design should facilitate international standards in sport.
 Study of long span structural systems to effectively apply the same in design.
 The use of computer or physical modeling for architectural expression of football
{sports}.
 To add up such ancillary facilities so as to earn more and more revenue therefore
making stadium more financially feasible.
 To access the requirement of stadium in the light of regional potentials and aspirations
of the people.

Need of study
Sports have been given secondary importance and are quite a neglected aspect, particularly in
huge metropolitan cities. This is due to the lack of sufficient and proper facilities and due to
the hectic lives that we all are living.

LIMITATIONS
 There will be no cost analysis related to project.

the Munich Olympic Stadium since 1972. 1860 Munich previously had a 50%
share in the stadium, but Bayern Munich purchased their shares for €11 million in
April 2006. The arrangement allowed 1860 Munich to play at the stadium while
retaining no ownership until 2025. However, in July 2017 the rental contract was
terminated, making Bayern Munich the sole tenants of the stadium.

TOPIC 2 - SPORTS COMPLEX

INTRODUCTION
It is no longer just “playing games”, but is a part of a huge leisure market which began
expanding in the 70’s and shows no sign of diminishing in the foreseeable. It is recreation or
free time activity for and for many it becomes entertainment or sponsored programto be
enjoyed from the comfort of one’s home.

“WORK” has been seen as a focal pointof life and its relationship to quality of life cannot be
underestimated, but, leisure as much as work is crucial to the development of self-identity
and self-realization. Sports is not justbreaking established records and winning medals. In
today’s strife from world, it cuts acrosscaste, communal, national and political barriers.

It inspires the participants, enthrals the spectators establishing a strong invisible

link between them. Sports is much more than a leisure activity, it is a matter of national
pride. A close relationship exists between the sporting activity and the physical framework
since the culture of the body transcends what is merely physical, reaching spiritual spheres
that relates to changes in thought and interpersonal communication. The awareness of this
reality inspires architects to create works that go beyond mere functionality to become
representative symbols of the urban or rural landscape where they are located.

AIM
The basic approach to design is to provide the user a feeling of total freedom and recluse
from the humdrum city life .i.e. to provide a carefree environment for entertainment of
both the body and the mind.

SCOPE OF THESIS
The public nature of a sports complex is a direct consequence of a view of sporting activity
as a pleasant social activity and an effective means of promoting interpersonal
communication. Its designing would involve not only spatial design but also the structural
design is given equal weightage. Another aspect which the architect has to consider is the
various services involved. Therefore in dealing with a SPORTS COMPLEX as a design thesis
topic, scope for architectural ability along with applied sciences like services is present.

OBJECTIVE
Apart from the overall design aspect, strong emphasis has been given to developing a master
plan with minimum disturbance to the environment and eco system.

LIMITATIONS
  There will be no cost analysis related to project.

Site Plan

Justification State reason for selecting this project –

 It matches my interest of working.
 This project will help me in designing the place
which fulfils a common person’s needs.
 It comprises of Institutional block, commercial
block and recreational zone which gives me an
 opportunity to study all three types in a single
project.

Identified architectural design challenges, project

significance –
 The given site area is very compact compared to
the needs of the project. Placing 5 different block
with recreational zone in this site would be a big
challenge.

Why I think the option is suitable for Thesis Project:

 Because it comprises of different kind of buildings

to meet different activities happening in the
campus. To propose all different event in one
campus gives a lot to learn as a thesis topic.
