DWARKA SECTOR 17

Sports Precinct

Year: 2022

Type: Research Workshope

Location: Delhi, India

The primary objective of the sports initiative is to investigate a new building type for multi-level sports facilities. Vertical construction is made possible by the incorporation of all Olympic indoor sports in order to establish one of the finest facilities. The design intends to create a communal experience in which the sports facilities complement and interact with one another in a shared open space. The corridor provides vistas of the outdoor sports facilities and showcases the surrounding nature, and is bordered by a collection of indoor sports that form a “sports cloud.”

The design prioritizes the construction of interactive spaces where users can simultaneously engage, appreciate, and communicate with multiple sports facilities, not only within the precinct but also from a greater distance away.

Software Used : Revit, Autocad, Lumion, Photoshop

Site movement pattern

Phase 1 :

Massing for Sports Facilities: The design uses a volume mass for sports facilities, using 30% of the maximum ground area and 2.5 FAR for built-up space. The bulk is deliberately placed on the northwest end of the property for best dispersion and integration.

Phase 2 :

Additional Masses: Outdoor masses for interior activities are added to the structure. These north-south volumes provide functional areas for varied activities.

Phase 3 :

Split Mass: The primary mass is separated into two equal pieces to improve circulation. These wings share a central space, making floor-to-floor travel easier. A patio on the bottom level adds aesthetics and openness.

Phase 4 :

The building’s wings are inclined to enhance its form. The wings’ complicated angles provide a better view of the site, improving the building’s attractiveness.

Phase 5 :

The sports facilities purposely create a blank area to frame the metropolitan vista. This hole improves airflow, cross ventilation, and green space, creating a pleasant and sustainable atmosphere.

Phase 6 :

Open spaces are created by staggering the structure to fit the courts. These areas may be used to grow plants and create a natural sports facility atmosphere.

Project concept and vision

Study explored a lengthy sequence of research activities, including a literature evaluation, analysis of past instances, the development of design concepts and briefs, context analysis, and experimentation. The bulk of the study goals were met satisfactorily during these stages. To match with the most effective testing and analysis outputs, the first brief required many modifications and adjustments

The research results imply that the development design idea must be refined and explored further with respect to local environmental aspects such as geography, climate, culture, and society. This would allow suitable design concepts to be applied to individual places. The initiative has also proved the usefulness of the previous phase’s design concepts in reconnecting employees with nature. However, considering the numerous techniques of integrating nature in office buildings and the wide range of climatic circumstances, there is need for more investigation. It may be worthwhile to investigate the findings of research that integrates environmental context and cultural concerns as a guide for future design.

The sports complex addresses urban air pollution, which affects people’s everyday life. The research emphasizes favorable benefits on athletes’ health, performance, and well-being. It also promotes user involvement, information sharing, and new possibilities. These improvements should foster a healthy urban culture. The study also features unique site planning with a regenerative approach that protects the Indian vernacular, harmonizes with the local environment, and follows sustainable design principles. It also discusses the study’s goals, background, and obstacles.

Unit specification

The concept is based with the zoning process, averting the placement of sports facilities in enclosed spaces. This approach treats each sports facility as a component of a larger whole, rather than as a discrete entity.
