MATRIX

Soccer School Academy

The typology I'm researching is sports facility. The way I define sports facility is a design that gives vibrant energy to the people doing exercise and comfort.

By comfort I'm not referring to comfortable  couches. I'm referring to the way the design talks to your body, the way a wall leads you to the next corridor or the way a bigger space makes you feel free to move around. All those elements are true comfort in design.

What I'm look forward after I analyze the 10 projects I chose is to be able to design a soccer sports facility that meets the requirements and needs of people.  Also, to be able to develop an interesting  facade based on my project research.  

Some of the elements I want to incorporate in my design are a  series of trusses and perforated metal throughout my design.

MASTERFJELLET SCHOOL CEBRA, VARIOUS ARCHITECTS, AND OSTENGEN &BERGO.

The main reason I have chosen this project was because of its facade. The use of a metal on the facade its a nice detail. Windows are placed where they need to not just to follow a pattern. Also what I like about this project is the central space as you enter the building and the green roof. I'm doing a soccer field and the idea of a green roof I can take it as a example I can put my soccer field on the roof but still that its just an option. In most spaces throughout this projects people tend to walk as a group therefore I want my design to have big open spaces.

RAVENSCRAIG REGIONAL SPORTS FACILITY ARCHITECT: POPOLUS

The Ravenscraig Regional sport facility has a strong emphasis on light. The facility is designed in a way that natural light will always illuminate the indoor facilities. Other sports center recruit to using expensive artificial lighting to provide enough visibility to accommodate the athletes. The design of the roof also eliminates glare and allows for light to enter year around, therefore reducing energy costs.

INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, LOUIS KAHN

The idea behind Louis Kahn's design was to concentrate on making the whole school a center for learning. Rather then just the classrooms being a place for learning he believed that students should be able to interact with each other and learn from everything that is around them.Kahn opened up the plan allowing for gathering spaces and hallways where students can continue their learning experience.  

UPPINGHAM SCHOOL SPORTS CENTRE ORMS ARCHITECTURE

I choosed this project because I like the way the land and structure combines with one another, also it doesn't disturb anybody, The major element this project has is that as you approach the entrance it makes you feel welcome.

SPORTS HALL BALE 3LHD ARCHITECTS ZAGRED

The main reason I choose this project is because I like the way the design is enclosed. Most of the sports facilities I look at had a series of trusses and big open spaces but this one is enclosed with a material that doesn't not bother anyone. Another reason I like this project is because it fits right on site. Using concrete as a material is what I'm really looking forward to use on my project. I can used for the front of my facade or maybe a main wall to show a strong emphasis on a particular area.

SPORTS GROUND FOR MAJORI PRIMARY SCHOOL, LATVIAN ARCHITECTS

What i liked about the Sports ground for Majori Primary School is its use of materials and structure. Buildings of this size can become bulky and heavy taking away from the site. This sport ground uses Translucent Polycarbonate cladding. The use of this material gives the sport complex a light weight feel that allows to emphasize the landscape. 

BIRKEROD SPORTS & LEISURE CENTRE SCHMIDT HAMMER LASSEN ARCHITECTS

CITY SPORTS HALL VARAZDIN, AG PLANUM ZAGRED ARCHITECTS

The sense of horizontality of this project is one of the things that capture my attention. The project has a consistent horizontal organization. the massing, circulation and elevation continue to illustrate the this idea though out the whole project. this is to show that keeping one strong idea fluent through out the whole design allows for a more elegant and organized project.

City Sport Hall Varazdin
http://openbuildings.com/buildings/city-sports-hall-varazdin-profile-4619

Berry Sports and Recreation Hall. Precedence Analysis

This particular project is distinguish by its straight forward function. People come into the space to play without going through so many walls. It's a small project, but it was delicate detailed on the way natural light penetrates the space. During the day light comes in through the round window shapes, these windows are placed on the main front wall of the facility. The windows don't seam to have a symmetrical pattern but it sure gives a delicate touch to a brutal rough concrete wall.

GIMNASIO CAMPESTRE, MPG ARQUITECTURA Y URBANISMO

The use of a cruciform organization never gets old. I think its a simple, functional and a clear way to organize a plan. This project shows that this form of organization can be quite interesting. Gimnasio Campestre uses this organization in order to maintain the courtyard as the main space. Students are forced to cross the courtyard in order to circulate through the school. This allows to maintain a close connection between nature and architecture.
