ABSTRACT

The aim is to create a 365 day attraction for Gwalior residents that will help revitalize and activate the growing Gwalior and new-born Gwalior West. Growing up, the majority of youth has a great interest in sports and outdoor activities. This allowed layering the stadium typology with functions catering to the needs of youth specifically. A space that would keep the stadium site active and lively on non-match days, and at the same time provide an inclusive and holistic environment for youth to explore themselves.

Sporting stadiums have a significant impact on the communities in which they are constructed. Not only do they have an impact on the local economy, but they also have an impact on pedestrian and other modes of transportation circulation. They have an impact on the ecosystem, as well as the land on which they are constructed. Some cities inspire advancement in urban design, whereas others do not (Borgen, 2017). Stadiums are massive projects and require detailed intricacy and functional resolution of the utmost level.

Many stadiums built in the past might not have paid heed to a stronger link with the cities, but the stadiums of the new age, such as the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, India, appear to be gigantic monuments and at the same time establish a positive link with the city’s other activities. Our capacity as designers to make stadiums a part of the cities in which they dwell has grown as our understanding of how to successfully create urban landscapes has grown.
