Chatenay malabry sport complex

Located at the heart of the ‘Butte Rouge’ garden city in the Paris suburb of Châtenay-Malabry,
the Léonard de Vinci sports complex houses a multipurpose sports hall, a dojo and annexes.
The project can be divided into two main sections: The base of the building which emerges from
the park. The low height of the base is in keeping with the existing buildings and forms an
extension of the greenery that runs from the garden-city through to the green roof;

A ‘wooden lantern’, which forms the bulk of the sports hall and sits on top of the large green
roof. The steel cladding on the base and the perforated iron panelling protect the glass
passages and provide a contrast with the wood used in the sports hall. he sports hall combines
the warmth of wood with natural sunlight. A false ceiling made of lengths of larch wood run
between the Glulam beams, concealing the technical fittings, while allowing light to filter through
and improving the hall’s acoustics. The surrounding walls are doubled with MDF up to the height
of the changing rooms. The wood and aluminium façades, which frame the majority of the glass
surfaces in the complex, are protected on the eastern and western sides of the sports hall by
large shutters made of retified pine, identical to the northern and southern gables.

Vallehermoso Sports Centre

Located in a central area of Madrid, in the district of Chamberí, the new Vallehermoso Sports
Centre, designed my ABM Arquitectos, is taking the place of the old stadium complex built in
the 1950’s. The former complex included the locally famous athletics stadium and a number of
complementary sports facilities. Since closing to the public in 2007 and demolished in 2008, the
Town Hall is planning the construction of a new Sports Center which is starting to become a
reality after this project was selected as the design winner along with a new athletics stadium
that will be developed later on. The construction of the new sports centre will start in 2012. It will
be a gentle building in its architectural expression. It will embrace the city and interact with it
creating a meeting point and an activity focus. More images and architects’ description after the
break.The site presents a very singular situation as it is defined by a slope of trees and plants to
be protected that form a hill located at a significantly higher level than the surrounding streets.
One consequence of this is that most of the building is buried behind this hill. This strategy
allows the natural massive green slope to keep being the image and character of the urban net
in this area of the city. The part of the building that stands out above the massive volume of
trees and plants is therefore not very high.

At the same time, this visible part of the building has a façade treatment based on an outer skin
that surrounds the building, made of steel tubes simulating the effect of a green forest, which
makes the building to mingle with the trees to the point to be literally diluted behind them. All
these aspects make the project to be very moderate in scale and also very well integrated in its
environment. The building is not closed in itself to exclusively serve to the users but also has
very strong relationships with the outside and the streets around it. An athletics stadium with
top-level international approval has been designed. It has an approximate capacity of about
10,000 places. The northern area of the stadium will be covered by a roof that combines the
metal structure and the ETFE, while the southern area will remain uncovered. A whole series of
rooms dedicated to changing rooms, medical services, toilets, offices, access to the runway,
parking, warehouses, etc … have been laid out under the western step, and over this tier on a
higher level the warm-up track have cantilevered, whose roof has been covered by a metal
framework and a laminated wood covering.

The location of the main entrance is at the same level than main street (Philippines Avenue) and
facing the preserved old and original entrance to the complex, the Vallehermoso arch (a 60
years old concrete parabolic arch with an incredibly small thickness of less than 8cm at its peak
point). This strategy allows to this almost-hidden-building to have a strong presence and
relationship with the street level and to appear behind this antique Vallehermoso arch as a
clearing in the forest or as a canyon between the trees through which the users will access to
the center. At night, the volume that stands out above the green mountain will emit a soft light
filtered through the latticework facade and the trees. This will make the building to be perceived
as a light volume that floats among the trees generating a mysterious light.

New Clark City Sports Complex

Before the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippine Olympic Committee had
previous plans to put up a national training center outside Metro Manila but talks to establish
such facility did not have any significant progress. Duterte personally directed Philippine Sports
Commission head, William Ramirez in 2016 to "take the lead" leading to Ramirez having talks
with Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea about plans for a replacement of the old Rizal
Memorial Sports Complex in Manila. There was also an earlier plan in the 2000s to build a
sports complex called the Philippine Olympic City in the Clark area, which was intended to be
used as a venue for the 2005 Southeast Asian Games.
After the silver medal finish by Filipino weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz at the 2016 Summer
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the PSC bared plans to build the "Philippine Olympic City"
at New Clark City.
Ramirez said that the sports hub, which would house national athletes and sports facilities,
would be one of the primary attractions at the New Clark City, then still known as Clark Green
City, and could be a possible main venue of the 2019 Southeast Asian Games which would be
hosted by the country. Ramirez at that time projected that the sports complex would be open by
2018. The sports complex would have the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) as
the primary involved body in its construction following a meeting between the PSC Board and
BCDA president Vince Dizon.
The Philippine Sports Commission estimated that the project would cost between ₱3
billion to ₱6 billion. A ₱1 billion savings from the PSC could be used to partly finance the
construction by the BCDA, a GOCC that developed the Clark and Subic as well as Villamor Air
Base and Fort Bonifacio.
Groundbreaking for the National Government Administrative Center (NGAC) as a whole was
held on January 23, 2018[8] and actual construction started on March 15, 2018. The New Clark
City Sports Hub forms a significant portion of the Phase 1A of the larger mixed-used
government complex's development. Construction of the sports complex itself began on April
25, 2018, which was marked by a cement-pouring ceremony. Around 8,000 people were
employed for the project with construction work done continuously or 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
The whole Phase 1A of the NGAC is targeted to be completed by October 2019. As of October
2018, the sports complex is already 30 percent complete. By November 2018, the projected
completion of the sports complex was moved earlier to August 2019 with test events planned to
be held at the venue from August to October 2019.
Following the 2019 Luzon earthquake, no damage was reported on the site of the sport's
complex construction. By June 2019, the facility was 85 to 88 percent complete with most of the
remaining work involved the area's landscaping.
The sports complex was 90 percent complete by July 2019 with the Athletics Stadium and
Aquatic Center and was set to be completed by the end of August 2019.
The stadium was first used to host the final leg of the Philippine Athletics Track and Field
Association weekly relay which was held on September 1, 2019 and the aquatic center for the
2019 Philippine Swimming National Open which began on August 31, 2019. Both events were
qualifiers for Filipino athletes aiming to compete for their country in the 2019 Southeast Asian
Games.
In the weekend of October 19 and October 20, 2019, the triathlon race event was held for the
first time at the sports complex.
On October 26 and 27, 2019, the sports complex also held the test event of the 2019 Southeast
Asian Games. The BCDA announced its plans to construct additional sports facilities such as an
indoor arena that can host indoor events such as basketball, as well as a lot reserved for
outdoor sports such as shooting in a six-hectare area. It also announced plans to build other
sports facilities for football, tennis, and cycling.
BCDA president Vince Dizon stated that the sports complex will privatize its maintenance and
operations right after the SEA Games. Dizon explained that they wanted to privatize it to make
the complex being well taken care of unlike being a government-run that became deteriorated.
To avoid becoming a "white elephant", they follow the success stories of other world-class
sports facilities (such as Singapore Sports Hub in Singapore, Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park in London and Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney). They also planned to turn the complex
into a multi-purpose, similar to what London and Sydney did after their hosting of Summer
Olympic Games respectively. The sports complex will serve as the permanent home of the
Filipino athletes and to be facilitated by the Philippine Sports Commission.

Architecture and design

Local architecture firm, Budji + Royal Architecture + Design, were commissioned by the Bases
Conversion Development Authority to work on the New Clark City Sports Hub. The firm
collaborated with American urban planner and engineering firm AECOM. Architect Royal Pineda
and interior designer Budji Layug of Budji + Royal are involved in the sports complex project.
The design of the complex was inspired from the parol, a Filipino Christmas lantern. Most
structures within the complex has a dark gray lahar finish as nod to the nearby Mount Pinatubo,
a volcano.
Surbana Jurong, a Singaporean firm, also did consultation work regarding the design of the
facilities. The sports complex was modeled by the firm after the Singapore Sports Hub.
Athletics Stadium
The main stadium, which had its design was derived from Mount Pinatubo, had its posts and
facade made from lahar or volcanic debris from the volcano. Its ringed roofline was made to
resemble a crater and be defined by a series of curving canopies. The main facade or the main
entrance is covered by glassframes. The stadium's pillars are painted orange to represent the
local sunset.
Aquatic Center
The Aquatic Center's design consist of a huge open shed with a prismatic roof similar to a parol
made of capiz coating. The roofing is made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a fiberglass
material used for its lightweight property, durability, and weather resistance. The architects
intends to cover the facility but still let natural light into its interior. At daytime, the architects
intended the roof to resemble capiz windows used by old Philippine houses and has illumination
designed to make the structure resemble a lit parol. The venue which hosts two swimming
pools, a 10-lane Olympic pool and an 8-lane training pool. The 2,000-seater Aquatic Centre,
which hosted the swimming, diving, and water polo competitions of the 2019 Southeast Asian
Games, was built to be fully compliant with the global standards set by international aquatic
governing body Fédération internationale de natation.

Oldest sport complex in Philippines

The Rizal Memorial Sports Complex (RMSC; formerly known as Rizal Memorial Field[) is a

national sports complex of the Philippines, located on Pablo Ocampo St. (formerly Vito Cruz
St.), Malate, Manila. It is named in honor of the country's national hero, José Rizal (1861–1896).
The complex is currently managed by the Philippine Sports Commission, while the property is
owned by the Manila City government. The complex also houses the administrative office of the
PSC, and quarters for the Philippine national athletes.
DESIGN GUIDELINES OF SPORTS FACILITIES (SITE SECLECTION)

1. Lot shall be wide enough to accommodate outdoor sports and conform to

standards. The outdoor sports shall be oriented to North Orientation. Standard
dimensions shall be followed, these include free or safety zones for players
(athletes) and spectators.
Note : Considering existing laws and ordinances to incorporate in the design of
sports facilities of every sports.
DESIGN CRITERIA (Also part of the site selection)
1. The area shall be accessible (either concreted or not, as long as it is accessible)
leading to the site
2. Power and water source must be not far from the site.
 3. The area of the site and neighboring areas must be declared by the authorities as
peace and order communities.
4. The lot shall not be flooded. Avoid lot beside a hill because construction of flood
water buffer is too expensive. Choose a lot that is very each to dispose floodwater.
Consult an Engineer. Floods and landslides may occur in the site.
5. The lot or the area shall not be windy because wind velocity is measured in some
sports event.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE NOTE THAT ALL SPORTS COMPLEX
SHOULD COMPLY WITH THE STANDARD AND RULES OF THE
INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF EACH SPORT


Poor drainage
Field Surface Drainage

To begin, most surface drainage problems

originate from incorrect grading and an
uneven landscape. Compaction across the
field is another important aspect. One of the
common misconceptions of baseball infield
materials and drainage is that water should
pass through the skinned infield and be
removed by drain lines. The infields should
be graded so that the water sheets off the
skin and into the turf where it can infiltrate or
be collected in a drain system. 
Grading the field with a center crown, rather
than lateral grading, is the most effective way
to remove surface water because it moves
water a shorter distance. This is the raised
part of a sports field that provides a slope to promote runoff of surface water. They can consist
of a ‘turtleback’ or ‘pitched roof’ crown, used primarily for football-only fields, or a traditional
crown, mostly used on soccer fields. Fields made of native soil typically are built with a minimum
of 1½ % slope and should never be flat, whereas sand-based fields with vertical drainage are
typically built with 0-0.5% slope.  The soil selection and field configuration are critical to design
and drainage performance. Regardless of budget and type of field configuration, you can
achieve a proper grade that provides natural drainage and will still be playable for your athletes.
Once your surface drainage basics are taken care of, now you can plan for what type of
drainage system you will need in addition to the natural surface drainage solutions previously
mentioned.

Sub-Surface Drainage Systems Again, this is when

your soil tests will come in handy. Two of the variables
you may run into is coarse soil and/or fine soil. Coarse
soils like sand tend to drain better than fine soils like clay.
However, coarse soils could supply too much aeration
and may not be able to be compacted to your standards.
There are three popular types of drainage systems used
today on sports fields; pipe drains, strip drains, and sand
slit drainage.Pipe drains have been used for years and,
while aiding in overall drainage, are primarily used to
lower the water table in an area, allowing the surface to
dry, and to hold the water as it discharges to its final
location. Originally these systems used clay tile and more
recently, corrugated plastic pipe. They range from 18
inches to 3 feet deep. The trench is filled with gravel or
coarse sand to the field subgrade.
Next are strip drains, which are becoming much more common as a means of draining athletic
fields. Strip drains are narrow trenches 2 to 4 inches wide that are cut with specialized trenchers
from 8 to 18 inches deep. They are much more effective in quickly removing surface water from
sports fields than pipe drains. The strip drains are connected to a perimeter collector. The
collector should be sized to manage the volume of water collected from the series of strip
drains. The strip drains should be placed at a 45-degree angle to the direction of the slope. This
will allow them to be installed at a consistent depth and keep a slope in the pipe.

The sand slit drainage system consists of a matrix of narrow 1.75-inch-wide sand slits on 12 to
20-inch centers. These are cut 8 inches deep and intersect at 90-degree angles to a series of
sub-drains installed on 10 to 20-foot centers. This system promotes rapid surface drainage with
sand trenches every 12 to 20 inches to allow water to enter the drainage system rapidly. These
sand trenches will also improve the aeration of the field and hold moisture in the soil profile
when excess is not present. Whatever drainage system you and your team decide to go with will
be a significant part of any field manager’s budget. However, it’s so important to have a field
drainage system that fits your field’s specifications and variables because anything less than a
professional drainage installation could cost you big time in the future. We’re here to help you
do what’s best for your field and budget.
