This project reimagines the relationship between form and function through the design of a dynamic sports complex. While the program offers creative flexibility in shaping the built environment, it also necessitates precise spatial planning to meet the technical requirements of various sports. Inspired by an evolved interpretation of Louis Sullivan’s "Form Follows Function"—redefined here as "Form Flows on Function"—the architecture embraces fluidity and movement as key design principles.
The defining feature of the complex is its undulating roof, a sculptural element that responds to the internal spatial configuration and the varying scales of activity within. This organic form not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a functional response to daylighting, ventilation, and circulation needs. A carefully curated interplay of skylights, courtyards, and open spaces fosters a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, enriching the user experience with natural light, fresh air, and visual continuity.
Beyond functionality, the project aims to create an immersive and dynamic environment where architecture becomes an extension of the energy and rhythm of sports. The integration of flexible spaces, transitional zones, and multi-use areas ensures adaptability, making the complex a vibrant hub for athletes and spectators alike.
