- FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVEL
Sports have a huge impact on our lives. It instills discipline in us, makes us active,
energetic and increases our mental, emotional and physical state. And in a nation of
wide range of culture and heritage, sports activities play a vital role in our lifestyle as
each sport is celebrated and uplifted with its bond to its traditional roots.
India being the second most populous country the aptitude for sports is inherent in
large part of its people even when only a handful of them are acknowledged. The
sense of physical activity receives no respect and recognition as a professional and
productive discipline. This perspective not only suppresses the hidden talent in our
future generations but also in the development of global sports standards. Hence the
contribution of infrastructure, awareness, media and people is vital for providing an
opportunity for exceeding in the field of sports.
Therefore the requirements for operation of each stadium after the mega-event are of
great importance to ensure sustainable integration into the urban, environmental and
social context as well as maximized utilization on a long-term basis.

1.5 LIMITATION
Sports stadiums have a considerable impact on the urban, environmental and social
context. In particular, where several new stadiums are built within the same city for a
single mega-event like the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games or Soccer World
Cup the implications are significantly higher.
Sports and leisure facilities are one of the great historic building types, representing
some of the very earliest works of architecture (Greek stadia), some of the most
pivotal (Roman amphitheatres and thermae), and some of the most beautiful (from
the Colosseum in Rome to the Olympic Park in Munich twenty centuries later).
GREEK:
Greek stadia (foot racecourses) were laid out in a U-shape, with the straight end
forming the startline. These stadia varied somewhat in length, the one at Delphi
being just under 183m long and that at Olympia about 192m.
Stadia built on the flat existed at Ephesus, Delphi and Athens. The one at Delphi was
almost 183m long by 28m wide, had
a shallow bank of seats along one
side and around the curved end, and
the judges’ seats were at the
midpoint of the long side – very
much as in a modern facility.
The stadium at Athens was first built in 331 BC, reconstructed in AD 160 and
reconstructed again in 1896 for the first modern Olympic Games. In this form it can
still be seen, accommodating up to 50 000 people in 46 rows. While modern large
capacity, roofed stadia can seldom have the simple forms used in ancient Greece,
there are occasions when the quiet repose of these beautiful antecedents could be
emulated.
ROMAN:
The militaristic Romans were more interested in public displays of mortal combat
than in races and athletic events, and to accommodate this spectacle they developed a
new amphitheatrical form: an elliptical arena surrounded on all sides by highrising
tiers of seats enabling the maximum number of spectators to have a clear view of the
terrible events staged before them.
The term ‘arena’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘sand’ or ‘sandy land’, referring
to the layer of sand that was spread on the activity area to absorb spilled blood.
The Flavian Amphitheatre in Rome, better known as the Colosseum from the eighth
century onwards, is the greatest exemplar of this building type and has seldom been
surpassed to this day as a rational fusion of engineering, theatre and art. Construction
began in AD 70 and finished 12 years later.
Fig 3: The Colosseum of Rome (AD 82) was built for gladiatorial combat
As the Greek theatre led to the Roman amphitheatre, so the Greek hippodrome led to
the Roman circus. These circuses were U-shaped equestrian racecourses with the
straight end forming the entrance and accommodating the stalls for horses and
chariots.
TWENTIETH-CENTURY
Olympic stadia: In 1908 the games were held in London, where the White City
stadium was built for the purpose, the architect being James Fulton. It was a
functional building accommodating over 80 000 spectators, had a steel frame, and
was the first designed
modern Olympic
stadium.
Fig 5: White City stadium in London (1908) was the first modern Olympic stadium
In 1936 the city of Berlin did finally host the Olympic Games. The Nazis had
recently assumed power and built the stadium of 1913 to a great oval structure
accommodating 110 000 spectators including 35000 standees in 71 rows.
Stadium designs have become more complex as well as more imaginative, in terms
of architecture, structural systems, and materials used. Designers are inventing newer
and stronger materials to implement in awe-inspiring structural designs.
Such as the incorporation of moving roofs which are becoming the norm and are
being implemented in new construction as well as stadium renovations.
Stadiums are also being equipped with movable pitches, like the New Tottenham
Stadium Retractable Field. With the option of having a fully roofed facility and a
field natural grass, "stadiums have been evolving from one-sport stadiums to multi-
use venues, and have additionally needed to meet the demands of the new era of
media involvement.
ATHELETIC
The athletics tracks are multi-purpose with the interior of the 400m track used fir
pitch for football, rugby, throw events, etc. Lanes are 1.22m wide to the centre of the
markings.
Marking of the 400m standard track: all lanes are marked by white lines. The line on
the right hand side of each lane, in the direction of running, is included in the
measurement of the width of each lane.
All start lines (except for curved start lines) and the finish line are marked at right
angles to the lane lines. Immediately before the finish line, the lanes are marked with
numbers with a minimum height of 0.50m. All markings are 0.05m wide.
The long jump facility includes a runway, a take-off board and a landing area.
Usually, it is placed outside the track along one of the straights with two adjacent
runways with a landing area at each end.
Runway: The runway is 40m minimum long, 1.22m ± 0.01m wide and is measured
from the beginning of the runway to the take-off line.
Take-off board: The take-off board is a white rectangle and measures 1.22m ±
0.01m long and 0.20m ± 0.002m wide and not more than 0.10m deep.
Landing area: The landing area is 7-9m long depending on the distance between its
nearest end and the take-off line. It is 2.75m wide. Generally, a landing area 8m long
placed 2m from the take-off line is recommended. The landing area has a water
permeable substructure or a suitable drainage system (draining well or canal
connection) and filled with sand to a depth of not less than 0.30m at the edges and
slightly deeper at the centre.
HIGH JUMP
The semicircular runway, with a radius of at least 20m, will permit approaches from
every direction. If it is necessary to remove the kerb temporarily in order to be able
to use the oval track as a runway, care must be taken to ensure that the heights of the
surfaces of the oval track and the segment are the same along the track border.
POLE VAULT
Runway for pole vault with box: The runway is a minimum of 40m long and is
measured from beginning of the runway to the 0-line. The runway is 1.22m ± 0.01m
wide.
Landing mats: For major international competitions, the landing area is a minimum
of 6m long (excluding the front pieces), 6m wide and 0.80m high. The front pieces
must be at least 2m long. The sides of the landing area nearest to the box are 0.10m--
0.15m from the box and slope away from the box at an angle of approximately 45°.
DISCUS THROW
The discus throw includes a throwing circle, protective cage and landing sector. They
are located near the ends of the back straight and the landing sector is located in the
grass area inside the track.
SHOT PUT
Size of the field: shot put circle is 2.134 m in dia. Throwing circle is 45 degree angle
and 21.33m min radius.
BASKETBALL
HANDBALL
Size of the field: 40m long and 20 m wide with two goal areas. There is a safety
zone surrounding the playing court with 1m width minimum alone the side lines
(longer lines) and 2n behind the goal lines (shorter lines)
Lines: the goal lines are 8cm wide between the goal posts. All other lines are 5cm
wide.
ARCHERY
Indoor target archery is shot at 18 or 25m, using the same targets as outdoor target
archery. The venue generally has a polished wooden floor or a concrete floor and the
range layout similar to outdoor field archery. The number of targets in an indoor
range depends on the width of the activity hall. Each archer requires a minimum of
GYMNATICS.
Landing mats: the thickness of the mats for pommel is 100mm and for all other
events, 200mm.

TABLE TENNIS
The playing surface does not include the vertical sides of the tabletop.
The playing surface yields a uniform bounce of about 23cm when a standard ball is
dropped on to it from a height of 30cm.
The playing surface is a matte surface and dark colored. There is a white side line,
2cm wide, along each 2.74m edge and a white end line, 2cm wide, along each
1.525m edge. The playing surface is divided into two equal courts by a vertical net
Depth: For pools with starting blocks, the minimum depth is 1.35m, extending to at
least 6.0m. A minimum depth of 1.0 metre is required for pools without starting
block.
Water temperature: the water temperature is between 250 and 28° Celsius
DIVING
The minimum size for a diving pool is 25m wide and 20m long. The overall
dimensions can be increased to suit other activities such as synchronized swimming
and water polo.
KARATE
World Karate Federation (WKF) competition has two disciplines: Sparring (kumite)
and Forms (kata). Both competition areas are flat and devoid of hazards. Competitors
may enter either as individuals or as part of a team.
BOXING
For all AIBA Competitions, the ring is 6.10m square inside the line of the ropes. The
size of the apron extends 85cm outside the line of the ropes on each side, including
additional canvas necessary to tighten and secure it. The height of the ring is 100cm
from the ground. The platform is 7.80m squared, level and free from any obstructing
WRESTLING
A new Fila approved mat has a 9m diameter and a 1.5m border and is mandatory in
Olympic Games, championships and cups. For all other international competitions
mats must be approved/sanctioned but not necessarily new.
Surrounding the central circle is a band 10cm wide. For Greco roman wrestling an
8cm wide line splits the circle into two parts. Two perpendicular lines, 40cm from
each other, are called inside hand line and inside line. The colour of the lines is red.
JUDO
The competition area is a minimum of 14m x 14m and is divided into two zones. The
inner zone called the contest area is a minimum of 8m x 8m to a maximum of 10m x
10m. The outer zone is the safety area and is a minimum of 3m wide.
The contest area is a different colour to the safety area. When using two or more
adjoining competition areas, the common
or shared safety area is 4m.
A free zone, a minimum of 50cm, must be
maintained around the entire competition
area.
TEAKWONDO
The contest area is a flat, non-slip mat. The contest area can be installed on a
platform 0.6m-1m high from the base.
The colour scheme of the mat’s surface must avoid giving a harsh reflection, or tiring
the contestant’s or spectator’s eyesight. The colour scheme is also appropriately
matched to the contestant’s equipment, uniform and the surface of the contest area.
Field of play means the area which shall be covered with the akfi approved playing
mats measuring a minimum of 17 meters x 18 meters and maximum of 20 meters x
20 meters. Court means the area on which the pro kabadi matches shall be conducted
measuring 13 meters x 10 meters.
KHO-KHO
Total area requirement is 30m x 19m inclusive of lobby from all sides measuring
1.5m wide. Playing Area is 27m x 16m inclusive of 1.5m x 16m of free zone behind
both poles. Pole Distance is 24m and the Central lane joining two poles measuring
24m length x 30cm width.
The game comprises two teams with 12 players each as per the rules of the Asian
Kho-Kho Federation 15 players each in the team while only 9 players actually
playing.
Athletics: The ideal orientation in the northern hemisphere is for the longitudinal
axis of the track to run 15 degrees west of north.
Zone 4: The circulation area surrounding the stadium structure and separating it
from the perimeter fence.
Zone 5: The open space outside the perimeter fence and separating it from the car
parks.
Gates offering escape from the spectator terraces to places of safety must be manned
at all times when the stadium is in use, and easily operable to let spectators escape in
case of emergency
Natural grass surfaces: Natural grass remains the most user-friendly of surfaces,
and the only permissible choice for some sports.
Drainage: There are basically two methods of drainage – passive and active.
The passive approach relies on gravity to drain away the water, and one
method of enhancing the basic system described above would be the cutting
of deep ‘slit drains’ into the subsoil by specialist machine, and filling these
with sand or fine gravel to help surface water flow down quickly into the land
drains.
The active approach uses pumps, usually activated by water-sensing
electronic devices in the field, to literally suck the water off the pitch and into
underground storage
chambers, thus clearing
the surface very quickly
and maximizing the
availability of the pitch
for revenue-generating
activity.
Fences: Perimeter
fences protect the pitch
from crowd invasion
but obstruct viewing
and may hinder escape
in cases of emergency
Calculation of
maximum viewing
distance is based on
how the human eye
perceives anything
clearly that subtends
an angle of less than
about 0.4 degrees.
For football, the preferred viewing distance at no more than 150 m between the
extreme corner of the field and spectator’s eye, with maximum of 190 m.
The term ‘sightline’ does not refer to the distance between spectator and pitch, it
refers to the spectator’s ability to see the nearest point of interest on the playing field
(the point of focus) comfortably over the heads of the people in front.
N = (R+C) x (D+T) / D -R
C = ‘C’ value;
It is recommended that eye height above the pitch should not be less than 800 mm,
with 700 mm as an absolute minimum. The closer the first row of seats is to the point
of focus, the steeper the rake will be, and
the higher the back of the stand for a
given ‘C’ value.
Angle of rake: It is generally accepted that an angle of rake steeper than 34 degrees
(approximately the angle of a stair) is uncomfortable and induces a sense of vertigo
in some people as they descend the gangways, even if regulations in some countries
do allow steeper angles.

The correct male: female ratio should be researched for each individual case but the
80:20 ratio is a widely recognized ‘club’ standard.

Administration of Tehran
municipality, decided to
construct a cultural-sport
complex for disabled in each 22
Tehran districts, in order to
increase these kinds of facilities.
DESIGN PROCESS:
Due to municipality rules to create green space only 60% of site’s (5000sqm)
northern part was allowed to build. Hence the southern part is dedicated for the
sports, cultural and parking
area (3000sqm) and the
northern side is of area
2000sqm for the green space.
The western part of the southern functional boxes is focused on cultural activity
and the eastern box is for the sports functionality. This way both the municipality
rule is followed and the functional part of the community centre can enjoy the view
of the southern garden.
Voids are made in the western box for using existing trees in the site. Along the
recession, a central main void is made to connect the site to the garden. The central
void is provided with swimming pool at its lowest level and amphitheatre on
westerns box and multipurpose hall for indoor sports at eastern box on its top floor.
FAÇADE: The northern box defines the façade with its ramps and accessing element
MASTER PLAN:
Spatial relationship: These functional boxes
locate and slip over each other to make voids
between spaces. The spaces behave in relation to
inside and outside of the building.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Tiruppur is located at 52 km east of Coimbatore city. It is an industrial centre for the
textile sectors. Tiruppur accounts for 90% of India’s yarn knitwear and it is referred
as textile valley of India.
There are about 2100 producing units manufacturing different varieties of textile
goods. Tiruppur is contributing about 45% of total knitwear exports from our country
and is exporting only cotton based garments.
There is a good scope for increasing our market share in the global from the current
level of about 2.6% by exporting value added products and synthetic products.
The minimum number of anchor points needed for any section of fabric is four.
Three points are insufficient because the resulting surface is a simple.
PNEUMATIC OR AIR-
SUPPORTED STRUCTURES
Pressurization – Maintain
pressure through ventilation, used for
permanent structures
Seal – Pressurized during
inflation only, used for temporary
structures
The most common fiber materials used for structural fabric include
• Fiberglass,
• Polyester,
• Nylon,
• Aramids.
Coatings can be applied in liquid form by pouring or spread on and forced through
the fabric. The most common coatings include polyvinylchloride (PVC),
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon), and silicone.
POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (PTFE)
It consists of microscopic glass beads that can be applied onto a woven glass cloth,
creating a strong and durable fabric. This resin has been used not only as a coating,
but also as high strength fibers.
PVC-coated polyester fabric is the oldest and one of the most commonly used
materials on fabric structures. It has a high tensile and tear strength but low
durability as it tends to deteriorate from UV radiation.
It also exhibits creep behavior, losing significant levels of pre-stress over time
sometimes requiring membrane re-stressing. Their tendency to retain dirt can be
overcome with the application of fluropolymers on top of the PVC coating.
• Highly UV resistant
• No yellowing or fracturing
• Flame-resistant
• Self-cleaning
• Very lightweight – only 350g per square meter of film; weighs only 1-3% of
an equally-sized glass panel.

4.9 DRAINAGE: The major rivers flowing through the district are Noyyal and
Amravati, which come under the Cauvery basin.
Ground water level Analysis: During the pre monsoon, the water level generally in
declining trend ranges from G.L. to 15m. The depth of well below Ground Level
12.0m are become dry during hot season like May, June, July.
Through this study and exploration, it is very evident that architecture plays a key
role in healing aspects and has an equal weight age of healing contribution as much
as treatments serve the purpose. The major characteristics covered in the study which
form the elements of healing have both direct and indirect effects on all the users
irrespective of the purpose of usage.
The interactive sessions with patients and architects give an insight into the
psychology of both highlighting their perspective of healing spaces which differs
from person to person. Though the perspective of healing spaces may be different,
the elements and planning still remain the same.
