Abstract
The major goal of this thesis is to create a platform where citizens of the Hazara
region may demonstrate their sporting prowess and talent to the the globe.
Because of the rich soil, which produces millions of athletes, there are still not enough
sporting facilities.
The study paper places a strong emphasis on the value and significance of sports
while also presenting their historical background.
Key design considerations are sustainability and energy efficiency. The site's
circulation, orientation, and typology are the main design considerations.
While creating places, the physical, social, and cultural aspects are also taken into
consideration.Some site restrictions are there, but the complex makes good use of
them via innovative planning.
This thesis report offers in-depth understanding about space organization and design.

1-Prologue
1.1 Introduction
Unhealthy practice is growing rapidly in our youth generation it needs to be arrested as early as
possible, the only way out seems to provide our youth with a more entertaining outdoor and indoor
activity, which compels our youth out of the confines of an enclosed environments.We need to
maintain a healthy balance between indoor and outdoor activities
1.3 Background
Sport is a social phenomenon of patterned behaviors, social structures and institutional relationships
that contains unique opportunities to explore and understand the intricacies of social life.
Sport is an activity that demands a complexity of primary or secondary involvement that is unsurpassed
by any other institutional backgrounds (Luschen 1990:59).
1.4 Importance
Sports take crucial part in growth and development of mental health and physical fitness, a sportsmen
gains various skills, experience and confidence that are helpful for developing their personality.
Sports are necessary in our daily life.on other hand in world sports is being used as generating
economy to countries,and contrary in modern sports world people are also perusing degrees as an
instructors,coaches,physiotherapist and professional degrees in coaching
The opportunities through sport are endless and is evident in our local and national current athletes who
have used sport as a tool for success and self-development
9
1.6 Problem statement
Pakistan is home to many brilliant people from all walks of life.
There are numerous athletes that achieve legendary status in short periods of time.
Due to a lack of facilities, much of our talent was wasted.
This should be recognized while looking at the point tables or graphs of Pakistan's performance in the
Olympic or Commonwealth Games, where countries with lower populations and better facilities have
more points on the medal table.
Similar to this, the Hazara area has great potential but inadequate sporting facilities.
Due to lack of facilities and grounds players are not perusing in sports field
They are not giving proper training and opportunity
10
1.7 INNITIATIVES
During his first term incharge, the KP government declared that sports complexes should be developed
in every region.All the regions have got their sports complex but Hazara region is still overshadows
unto date.Over huge demand from sportsman and local representative kpk government acquires a land
of 250 canals for sports complex.
11
1.8 Aims and Objectives
2. To provide an opportunity for youth of abbottabad to participate in the games of national level and
international level
5.To provide all sportsmen a variety of enjoyable leisure opportunities those which are accessible being
safe and physically attractive.
1.9 Aspects
Productive space
Energy efficiency
1.10 Motivation
Recent performances of athletes of Pakistan in common wealth games and in Olympics
12
1.11 Limitation and determination
Now days sports become the major source of income for many people after the involvement of stake
holders and sponsors and but have some cultural and political limitation as well as the site restriction.
There is some delimitation as well as more site can acquire by section 4 on nearby land

2-Literature review
2.1-Sports
2.1.1-Definitions
Practically speaking, "sport" is characterized by its social connotation as well as by its close ties to
physical effort and performance standards. Sports can take on many different forms and are always
evolving in response to society conventions, trends, and new ideas.
German theorist Carl Diem defines sports as the reverse of work, worthless activity done for one's own
sake.{Şahin, Mustafa. (2010)}
A human activity that focuses on physical effort and ability as its main components, with aspects of
competition or social interaction, and where the rules and behavioral patterns regulating the activity are
formally established through organizations, is often regarded as a sport.
2.2-Organized sport.
The concept of organizational structure that surrounds and affects a sport helps to identify whether it is
considered to be a "organized sport."
2.3-Sport participation
Participation in sports is hard to measure and usually depends on how the audience views it. As a basic
guideline, a "sport participant" is someone who participates in sports, whether formally or informally.
Athlete , coach , or official are some examples of sports participation that can be classified by a
specific role played in sport (both playing and non-playing roles).There are numerous roles in sport,
both paid and volunteer. It can also be determined whether someone is participating in organized sport
by how they describe it (e.g, solo or group, unplanned or scheduled, or the location/setting).{Eime, R.,
Harvey, J. & Charity, M. BMC Public Health 20, 1344 (2020)}
14
2.4-Types of sports
Modified sports
Extreme sports
Social sports
Adventure sports
Sports
2.4.1-Modified sports
Since a person or group of people offer structure to a particular physical activity and ascribe rules and
purpose to its outcome, sports have grown over the years. Yet, sports can adapt through time, usually to
become more inclusive.some of examples are cricket,football,hockey etc.
2.4.2-Extreme sports
Most sports have some element of risk, such as the chance of injury or the danger of competition
affecting the result of a match. Extreme sports raise the risk variables to a degree that is typically
outside the purview of a sport's regulatory organization.
In addition to requiring potentially specialized equipment, these activities frequently involve speed,
height, and intense physical exertion. In many instances, a sport is altered (to the extreme), and new
rules transform the sport's activity into something new. In other instances, there are no rules at
all.examples,Sky diving,Downhill ski racing etc
2.4.3-Social sports
The term "social sport" refers to participation in sports in a less formal setting (i.e., anytime, anywhere).
Individual differences can be found in the reasons why people participate as well as the personal and
social benefits.
In social sports, participant connections are typically given greater weight than performance outcomes.
Even while there is frequently a competitive element, it is typically unregulated and
unofficial.example,Basketball 3x3, Pole sports etc
2.4.4-Adventure sports
The performance skills involved in running, cycling, paddling, skiing, etc. are used in adventure sports,
but in a different way and in an outdoor setting. The fundamental components of sport—physical effort
and/or talent, competition, regulations, and organizations—apply, but not in the conventional
sense.example,adventure racing etc
2.4.5-E-sports
A general word for organized, competitive video gaming, especially professional gaming, is e sports
(electronic sports). According to the International E sports Federation (IESF), it is "a competitive sport
in which players compete in a variety of video games in a virtual, electronic environment using both
their physical and mental skills."example,tekken,fifa etc.

2.5 History of sports and sports facilities
Notwithstanding the primitive quality of the depiction, paintings from the Lascaux caves in France,
which date back approximately 17,300 years, are the earliest known examples of anything
approximating sport. In reality, several of these artefact, many of which show athletes at their most
primitive level, have been discovered throughout the world, including in Mongolia (7000 BC), Egypt
(6000 BC), Sumeria (3000 BC), and even Meso- America (1000 BC).{History of Sport}{Scott
Jonathan Myers,2014}
Fig 8 -Prehistoric paintings near Lascaux, France Fig 9 -Cave of Swimmers near Wadi Sura, Egypt
The ancestral prototypes for modern sports facilities of all kinds are the stadia and hippodromes of
Ancient Greece. Here, Olympic and other sporting contests were staged, starting – as far as we can tell
– in the eighth century BC.{stadia,5th edition}
Fig 10 -Timeline of Revolutionary Sports Structures developed around the world {Source: KPMG Sports}
The timeline below is primarily developed on the basis of readings from {Lyngsgård, 1990},
{Eichberg, 1998}and {Nielsen, 2005}, and provides a total overview of the present section ‘From
pre-sport to modern sport.

2.5.2 Evolution of stadium
The earliest Panhellenic stadiums in Greece are where the original legacy of the sports arena begins,
with its old marble stands. The "stadion" (as it was formally renamed in the Roman period) was little
more than an extended circle enclosing a straight track; it received its name from the Olympic single
race before coming to denote the tiers of seating surrounding any playing field, racecourse or stage
{Spampinato}.Roman Colosseum, which was finished in 80 AD, continues to this day to be given the
distinction of most famous stadium in history.
Fig 11 - the Panathenaic Stadium – Athens, Greece .The Colosseum – Rome, Italy
The different configurations that the stadium has undergone can be split down into five groups or
"generations," as follows: (Spampinato)
The First Stadium (pre-1950s)
The Equipped Stadium (1950-1980s)
The Commercial Stadium (1990s)
The Flexible Stadium (late 1990s-2000s)
The Urban Icon Stadium (2000s)
Fig 12 -the first stadium pre 1950 {Wembley} Fig 13 - the urban icon stadium >2000 {Taiwan}
Throughout the past 150 years, the stadium's function and perception within the community have
undergone a significant transformation, going from practical to idealistic and everything in between.
But as we approach the next stage of sports architecture, it is abundantly evident that changes are
required if the stadium is to continue to be a viable and sustainable part of the urban fabric.

2.6 Influence Of Sports On Human Society
*It teaches us to make a difference in the world on a daily basis, sports have a particular place in
human civilization.
*Integrity and morality are two values that may be learned via participation in sports.
*Sports may transform the foundation of human civilization by teaching a variety of crucial values.
*Participating in sports teaches people that social, political, and ethnic barriers do not exist.
*Sports are important on a personal level because they motivate people to maintain a healthy level of
activity.
*The world of sports plays a significant role in building a healthier society by bringing people from all
walks of life together.
19
2.6.1- Benefits of sports
Sport and physical exercise both lower the risk of over 20 diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and
various malignancies.
Regular exercise can save health care expenses by £1,750 to £6,900 per person.
Increased participation in sports demonstrates how sport benefits education by raising achievement
levels, reducing absenteeism and dropout rates, and promoting further education.
For instance, young individuals who participate in sport have an average 8% increase in their numeracy
results compared to non-participants.
According to other research, sports programmed designed for young people at risk of criminal
behaviour can boost self-esteem and lower re offending.

2.8 Sports facilities
Facilities specially designed for sports, such as gymnasiums, sports fields, tennis
courts, swimming pools or ice rinks
A sports complex is a group of sports facilities available in same location within the boundary of that
area example track and field stadiums, football stadiums, baseball stadiums, swimming pools, and
Indoor arenas.
2.11 Gymnasium
Gymnasium, large room used and equipped for the performance of various sports.
A large room used for various indoor sports (such as basketball or boxing) and usually equipped with
gymnastic apparatus.
22
2.12 Difference between gym and gymnasium
A gym is a fitness studio. While a sports hall tends to be large, allowing several activities to take place
at once such as badminton and gymnastics as well as indoor ball games.
The concept "sport city" has been used in three different contexts: as a short-term attraction, to identify
a certain area of a city as a sports zone or centre, or to brand a whole city {Smith 2010}. Manchester
used sport to create a social centre and save East Manchester from the effects of post-industrialization.
The Singapore sports centre sought to actively foster public participation in sport and structured
physical exercise, whereas Melbourne aggressively pursued social events through sport. {Pye.N. et al.
2015}. The number of sport cities has significantly increased in the oil-rich Gulf States {Bromber,
Krawietz, and Maguire 2013}
The urge to generate a fresh image for a city, according to Loftman and Spirou {1996}, is what drives
sporting development in urban areas. It's not a recent phenomena for sports to be used to improve the
perception of a location {Reiss 1982}. Instead of creating venues that primarily accommodate
professionals, sports city development has placed more of an emphasis on encouraging amateur locals
and tourists to participate in sports. {Weiner 2000}. Sport facilities in cities should be community-
focused and even viewed as local institutions with the goal of promoting the growth of sport within the
community.
The FIFA World Cup was chosen to be held in Italy in 1990. In two of the ten stadiums, architect
Renzo Piano had a significant impact. Creating a sports city was central to his plans for the San Nicola
neighbourhood and stadium. In West Bari, a sizable park includes the stadium.
According to the city's urban plan, which Ludovico Quaroni created in the early 1970s, the location
was chosen. Develop a green space and formally designate it as a park were the objectives of the
project. Facilities for leisure and non-competitive sports were incorporated into the design to guarantee
constant activity in the park. The park served as an entryway into the countryside for the city (UIA,
2005).
San Pietro adds that the Delle Al pi stadium, which has a seating capacity of 72,000, was also given the
designation of a sports city. It was created with the option for private maintenance. The urban plan for
the stadium took the local context and landscape into consideration.
The website is intended to be accessible to everyone 24 hours a day. The location is integrated to
connect with the metropolitan transportation system and is located inside the urban infrastructure.The
stadium complex is a community area in the city that includes a botanical garden and contains
economic, cultural, and sporting amenities. The park serves as a green space in the city and acts as a
natural barrier between the city's built-up sections.{San Pietro et al 1990}
23
2.14 Aspect 1: productive space
Architecture that are productive in terms of human, environmental, and economic benefits are
beneficial overall.{kiss+cath cart}
This refers to environments that encourage well-being, joy, and inspiration in people; producing an
excess of renewable energy, not using any groundwater, and not creating any garbage; generating
genuine economic value ,in the terminology of architecture: a prerequisite for good design.
A recent trend called "productive architecture" aims to have positive effects on people's health,
happiness, and inspiration while also benefiting the economy and the environment.
While this may sound a little "pie-in-the-sky," it is necessary for buildings to be ecologically friendly
moving forward. They must also produce excess renewable energy and ensure that garbage produced

The MIT School of Architecture & Planning assists architects in maximizing design and energy
efficiency by developing simulations, case studies, and visualizations to direct the planning process as
well as by using new insulation materials, enhanced architectural techniques, and altered construction
methodologies during the building process.
In addition to encouraging collaboration between structural engineers and architects during the design
phase, MIT's methodology takes cost and constructibility into account.
Hence, productive architecture is a method for building design that aims to go beyond "green and
sustainable" improvements to a home to enable the home to have a beneficial impact on the
environment.
Productive architecture envisions dwelling areas that actively increase a location's ecological resiliency,
as opposed to merely "reducing" the footprint or environmental impact of a residence.

2.15 Aspect 2: Energy efficiency
2.15.1 Definition
Energy efficiency is the use of less energy in a building to accomplish the same task as a facility that
uses energy inefficiently. It should be taken into account during the building's design phase, material
selection phase, construction phase, and operational phase.
2.15.2 Explanition
Globally, people now recognize the importance of lowering building energy use. This is due to the fact
that the full-fledged operation of a building consumes as much fossil fuel as other industries.
The development of sustainable cities in the future will be greatly aided by the use of energy efficiency
techniques during building construction and operation.
Energy-efficient building design is creating or renovating structures that can make the best use of the
energy that is given to them by taking action to limit energy loss, such as lowering the loss of heat
through the building envelope.
[1] Homes that are built with energy efficiency in mind or that have been rebuilt to be more energy
efficient provide a variety of advantages. Homes that use less energy are more comfortable, cost less to
run, and are better for the environment.
*Using the appropriate levels of insulation in the walls and roof while keeping in mind regional norms
*Caulking and weather stripping should be used to properly weatherize the building.
*Installing energy-efficient windows with low-e coatings and gas filling, while selecting glazing and
window frame materials that are environmentally friendly
*installing high-performance equipment and measuring its effectiveness during its lifetime
*monitoring and confirming performance through energy audits to identify areas of a building where
energy is being lost and where it is most practical to enhance through retrofitting
The overall strategy for achieving high-efficiency buildings comprises reducing building energy
demands, generating energy locally from renewable resources, and sharing energy by designing
buildings that produce an excess of energy that can be fed back into a sophisticated grid structure.

2.16 Long span pavilion structures
Pavilion structures mostly stand on the materials or have three types
1. Long span Wood structures
2. Long span concrete structures
3. Long span steel structures
Structural systems for long-span buildings can be classified into two groups:
Those subject to bending, which have both tensile and compressive forces
Funicular structures, which experience either pure tension or pure compression
Bending structures include the girder, the two-way grid, the truss, the two-way truss, and the space
truss
A cantilever beam is a rigid structural element supported at one end and free at the other.
The cantilever beam can be either made of concrete or steel whose one end is cast or anchored to a
vertical support. It is a horizontal beam structure whose free end is exposed to vertical loads
for small cantilever beams, the span is restricted to 2 m to 3 m. But the span can be increased either by
increasing the depth or using a steel or pre-stressed structural unit
The maximum span of a cantilever beam is generally dependent on the following factors:
A wood beam's span depends on its modulus of elasticity, size, and load it has to carry.
A 4"×10" No. 1 Yellow Cedar beam (with a modulus of elasticity of 1,400 kilo pounds per square inch)
that supports a uniform linear load of 80 pounds per foot can span about 17.0 feet.
Oak wood has a modulus of elasticity of around 800,000 to 1,400,000 pounds per square inch (or psi)
To find the span of a wood beam, let's say a 2"×8" beam (with actual measurements of 1.5"×7.5"):
Determine your wood beam's modulus of elasticity (E). Let's say 1,900,000 psi.
Find the area moment of inertia (I) of your beam, where I = b × d³ / 12 = 1.5 in × (7.5 in)³ / 12 =52.73
inches to the fourth power.
Let's say our beam has to support an applied load of 15 pounds per inch. We find the span using this
equation:
29
Fig 30 -timber joint system hinge and bolt Fig 31 - long span timber structure hall
Glue-laminated timber can be used as a long-span material.Spruce wood. Fir, pine, larch and Douglas
fir. It can be prefabricated using metal connectors into trusses that span up to 45 meters (150 feet).
Its most economical forms, however, are the pure compression shapes of the multiple-arch vault, with
spans up to 93 meters (305 feet), and ribbed domes, with spans up to 107 meters (350 feet)
{the constructor.org}
Reinforced concrete, because of its inherent strength in compression, is primarily used for long
spans in funicular compression forms including vaults, shells, and domes.
Thin parabolic shell vaults stiffened with ribs have been built with spans up to about.
90 meters (300 feet). More complex forms of concrete shells have been made, including
hyperbolic paraboloids, or saddle shapes, and intersecting parabolic vaults{Britannica.com}
Steel is the major material for long-span structures.The members of trusses act either in pure
compression or pure tension.In the top and bottom horizontal members the forces are greatest at
the centre of the span, and in the verticals and diagonals they are greatest at the supports.
Trusses are highly efficient in bending and have been made up to 190 meters (623 feet) in span.
Two-way grids can be made of either plate girders or trusses to span square spaces up to 91
meters (300 feet) in size.These two-way structures are more efficient but more expensive to
{build.Britannica.com}

Transformation from heavy to light structure
45
Due to the open roof, everyone who enters the area will feel a sense of belonging because it is public,
free, always accessible, and open to experience.
Large numbers frequent the area for pleasure and enjoyment because of how freely people roam around
there.
The layout encourages spontaneous activity, which is evident throughout the park.
The structure serves as a park and an exhibition area combined, and it symbolizes "the spirit of the
place."
Within and above the building are courtyards and spaces devoted solely to sports.
The multipurpose approach not only promotes the exhibition that is on show but also the urban culture
of the city, as there are open-air amphitheaters for unofficial events and performances.
To reduce the size of the massive structure and remove its "aggressiveness," this 66,000 square metre
mega-structure was reduced to just 6.6 meters tall.
It presents itself as a big, grass-covered, low rooftop to maintain a low profile and entice onlookers in.
In order for areas like the exhibition hall in the building to have a total floor to ceiling area of 9 meters,
it had to be buried an additional 3 meters into the ground. This allowed for pedestrian access to the roof
from the street.
Football fields, a watch tower, a sandbox, a platform for roller skating, a communal vegetable garden,
and several other social activities are located on the roof and are connected by a 760-meter jogging
track.
The social events gather a wide variety of conferences, despite the fact that these activities are not
typical of an exhibition centre.
46
FIG-C- 4-sports park view
The building's height was reduced to 6.6 meters in order to retain a link with human size
From the street level, pedestrians can access the entire site, moving from the ground to the top and
inside the structure by simply moving naturally around the area.
In a building typology that is often unoccupied 200 days a year, the facility's focus is on creating a
lively social environment.
The areas also support both indoor and outdoor activities, keeping with the idea of versatile and public
design. When not in use for conferences, it is referred to as a "sports-warehouse."

4.1.6 Summary
Sharing and connectivity have gained more traction in the digital domain than in the constructed
environment.
The chances for people to genuinely get to know one another in a social bodily state are becoming
increasingly few.
The architecture recognizes the indisputable interconnections of all beings.
It encourages people to leave their socially segregated surroundings and become a part of a community
in a natural setting.

4.2 Case study 2
Name : Vertical Gym, Caracas
Architect : Urban Think Tank
Location : Caracas, Venezuela
Area: 1000 sqm
Building typology: vertical sports gym
Functions: sports gym and arena
Project completion:2004
The property is situated amid one of Caracas's sprawling informal settlements, which has a high crime
rate, little urban space, and inadequate infrastructure.
Slums are home to more than 60% of the population.
Children couldn't safely play there, nor was there enough room for them to engage in leisure activities.
An empty, dilapidated sports field in Chacao's Barrio La Cruz was an opportunity that local architects
and Urban Think Tank viewed as a potential location for social gatherings.
50
4.2.3 Social and Economic response
The neighbourhood responded well to the design as it was put into practise by the locals.
Each month, the design generates about 15,000 users overall.
Since it opened, the operational facility has contributed to a more than 30% reduction in crime in this
neighbourhood.
It has provided a secure, open environment that fosters skills, tolerance, and encourages civic
engagement and involvement in sports.
Sports leagues, after-school programs and summer camps have provided a safe and healthy space for
the community’s youth
The functional possibilities on site were limited by the site's overall area of 1000 square meters.
The objective was to build a facility that could vertically contain a number of sport functions rather
than changing the nearby sites.
Many of the potential problems from a dense concrete design were avoided by creating a steel structure.
The structure was made off-site and built on-site for a low cost.
Ramps from one level to the next can be accommodated by the prefabricated bolt on steel construction,
resulting in an environmentally responsible design and a universally accessible building.
The building is simple to replace and maintain by prefabricated construction.
To lower operating expenses, the design also incorporates recyclable materials, wind turbines, solar
panels, and a rainwater collection system.
51
FIG-C- 13- 3d sectional view
4.2.5 Summary
The concept of a public sports facility in Caracas revolutionized the social perspective of the area
The development of numerous athletic facilities in the city of Caracas followed the design's success,
with each facility's design being individually fitted to local needs.
The sports facility not only offers a secure environment for social interaction, but it also improves the
local environment, generating social interest outside of the immediate area.
Teams from different departments will be welcomed to a region that was historically socially excluded
due to its socioeconomic problems through competitive involvement.
Social public spaces are transformed into places of opportunity, hope, and significance.

5.5-Articles,Surveys and polls
Apart from conducting regular surveys and polls on politics and lifestyles of the people, Gallup
Pakistan pays particular attention to sports.
Several questions pertaining to various sports have been a regular feature of Gallup's surveys as by
doing so, it has been able to highlight some interesting trends.
Football is perhaps the most popular game in the world but unfortunately, it has failed to gain the same
acceptance in Pakistan.
However, more and more people seem to be taking interest in this sport over the past few years.
Gallup Pakistan carried out a special survey during the Football World Cup last year. During this
World Cup, people were asked about their interest in the sport.
25% of the people stated that they took a lot of interest in cricket, 36% were somewhat interested in the
sport and 16% were a little interested while 23% were not at all interested.
Hockey is another sport which makes it to the top of the favorite sports list.18% of the respondents
stated that they took a lot of interest in the game and 39% claimed that they liked to watch it
Another beloved sport is wrestling. While 21% of those questioned claimed to take a lot of interest in
the game, 39% stated that they enjoyed watching it.
The percentages of people who indicated a lot of enthusiasm in them stood at 6%, 5%, 6% and 7%
respectively.
There were several pleasant surprises in the favorites list as well as some people also pointed out games
such as kabaddi, athletics, golf and boating as their favorites.
6% of the people really liked athletics and swimming while 3% took a lot of interest in golf. 8% said
that they had a keen interest in boating.
In 2007, 24% of the respondents told Gallup that they were very interested in sports, 40% were
somewhat interested, 16% were a little interested and 21% were not at all interested.
Although encouraging, these numbers are lower than those observed in 2006.
In the beginning of 2006, 32% claimed to have a keen interest in sports while 67% said that they had
some interest.
62
These surveys and polls were conducted by Gallup Pakistan, an affiliate of Gallup International, on a
sample of over 1100 respondents in urban areas of all four provinces of Pakistan.
This sample was statistically selected across all ages, income groups and educational levels. The
error for a sample of this kind is estimated to be +/- 5% at a 95% confidence level.
Pakistan now has more young people than it has ever had, and this is fore cased to continue to increase
until at least 2050.
Data from national surveys and new data from a National Youth Perceptions Survey was used to
compute a sub-national Human Development Index, Youth Development Index, and a Youth Gender
Inequality Index.
The data drawn from these diverse sources was used to develop a representative sample of the youth
from diverse backgrounds.
The findings revealed some important insights: 29 out of 100 young people are illiterate and only 6
percent have more than 12 years of education. Regarding employment, 39 of 100 youth are employed
(32 of them males and 7 females), 57 of 100 youth (16 males and 41 females) are neither working nor
seeking jobs, and only 4 percent are unemployed and actively looking for work.6 percent of youth
interested in sports take it as profession.
Significant gaps were also found with regard to the space for social engagement and connectivity: only
15 percent of youth have access to the Internet, 52 percent own a cell phone, 94 percent do not have
access to a library, and 93 percent lack access to a sports facility.
5.7-Conclusion
These articles and research paper helps to identify the users that are going to take part in this facility
via any domain I-e player,staff,admin,spectator etc.
It helps to analyze the current situation at national and regional level.give some insight about the
interest of people of Pakistan as a whole towards sports activity.
Its also guides towards the interest of youth and their transition towards sports activities at different
levels.

1532949sqft
The site for sports complex abbottabad is proposed on newly built dhamtour bypass road.
The site is proposed by directorate of sports Kpk in 2022.
Before finalizing the site some important decisions are made to ensure the demand of rapidly changing
market in future,general location,social,economical and environmental impacts,accessibility and
general location.
Site is currently located in conjunction of semi urban and green field site,but the time of development
and finalization its in semi urban zone.
Local transportation system available from early morning to mid night.
One more advantage currently having of this site is low land cost which is going to increase in
upcoming year.
Current financial situation of government in Pakistan we can afford to have site of such large area in
urban or semi urban zone so its more feasible in terms of economic impact to have site in green field in
vision for future.in addition to that in Abbottabad region we don’t have such large scale land area
available as well in urban or semi urban area.
As the location is out of urban zone so the environmental impact on context is minimize and enhancing
the social context is much easier.
After addressing all the issues and their best possible solution we come to the decision that this site is
feasible for sports complex abbottabad due to its user friendly nature and future visions.

The site typology, circulation, and field orientation are the main areas of concentration in the master
plan.The arenas are set up to take full advantage of the terrain, i.e. less steep terrain.Each block has a
unique concept based on the research and design process.All the building pieces have sustainability as
their key thing in common.
There are regular green patches that serve as a place for connection and meeting as well as a healing
atmosphere.To take full advantage of the site's and its surroundings' views, the residence area is at the
top.
The ratio between the entire walkway and road is 1:12.Additionally, future zones are provided, and
steeper terrain is used for forest space.

Details
The complex's main stadium serves as its beating centre.It is the centre of all the facilities.In order to
prevent the most cutting and filling, it is situated in a less steep area.
Plans are put in place to make the most of the circulation pattern both on regular days and in an
emergency.Additionally, open seating on green space is offered to increase customer comfort.
The roofing system is constructed of a lightweight ETFE material that is not only sustainable but can
be adjusted during the day to let in the most light possible for the stands.
The native roofing system is the inspiration for the roof design.ETFE materials are molded using the
corresponding pattern.The tier's steps are similarly constructed of precast concrete, a sustainable
material.
Areas for administration, players, and services are used underneath the steps.A roofing system also
enables the gathering and storing of rainwater.
The roof's weight is supported by a one-way brace frame structure.Through ramps and steps, each
space is connected to the surrounding environment.

The design of the swimming pool is based on the swimmer's diving position.Additionally, it
incorporates the idea of air movement. It has a PTFE lightweight material roofing system.
To gain the most light and seclusion at the same time, louvers are available on the north and west
sides.Planning primarily considers the topography and context of the place.
Its placement in the master design is at a lower level to ensure minimal energy use in the water supply.

9-Special Note
This thesis research report assists the student in efficiently researching and planning sports programme.
I wanted to start by emphasizing designers and students of architecture that their first concern should
be the flow of the spaces.
They must also take the earthquake zone into account when designing the pavilion and arena
structures.Learn about new innovations and technology that can improve your design.
Last but not least, since it is currently the most important necessity, you must specifically focus on
sustainable and high-performance buildings.
