4.2 HYPOTHESIS

Traditional sports are the contests and physical activities that have been practised in our societies for generations.They are a significant part of our history, and they contribute to the formation of both ourselves and our culture. This has a direct bearing on the many different values that we hold. However, since these kinds of sports do not get the adequate attention and infrastructural facilities that they need, they are becoming less popular in society, which is why there is a pressing need to bring them back.

“Architecture pertaining to games, sports, body and movement is about much more than just puttinga roof over some competitive activities. The architecture may potentially increase the joy of movement and inspire both children and adults to participate in sports, play and social interaction entirely new ways.”…... [Dorte Mandrup, 2011] This project, which entails constructing something that concerns with "architecture," "sports," and the "culture," may assist us in reviving traditional sports in the society. More precisely, these topics will be discussed in the context of the project as pertaining to "space for sports," "body mobility," and "cultural identity," which are all related to the topic of social interaction.

The proposed architectural intervention may bring the worth of North-East India's traditional sports to the current generation. The effort will promote traditional sports. This will benefit the individual, group, and community. Another side effect would be an increase in the number of people who compete in and win sports events and competitions. It will provide under-recognized traditional sports the attention and resources they need to thrive on a global scale, enabling already-existing talents to break through due to a lack of infrastructure.
