Strategy
The main structures in the site; the sports hall and natatorium. Positioned to the back as they require the least amount of views. Open air performance space encapsulated by surrounding structures and exterior facilities. Semi-open space for views out to swamp and clear integration with entrances. Footbridge connection over the swamp to the park area to encourage integration between the two sides.
