SEATING LAYOUT

These are schematic diagrams of the suggested viewing places, which should meet three criteria:

• The viewing spaces are spacious enough to hold the required number of spectators.

• All spectators are as close to the action as possible, with maximum viewing distances limited to a minimum. • The majority of fans (including those with disabilities) are at their preferred viewing positions in relation to the playing field. The following stage is to turn these diagrammatic drawings into three-dimensional stand designs with acceptable sightlines.

The seats themselves are the next design task after arriving at a geometry that connects the spectator sections to the playing field so that spectators can view the action clearly and without having to strain their necks. Comfort, safety, robustness, and economy are all important elements to consider while designing seating.

RESOLVING STANDS

ITERATION 1

PROS:

1. Ideal C- Value, ranging between 90-120 is achieved for all the three tiers.

2. The total height of the structure complies with the development control as well.

CONS:

1. The total number of seats are underdelivered as specified by the brief.

2. Form is not so dynamic and also allows a large amount of east and west sun to penetrate inside the stadium (The glare from rising and setting sun would make it very challenging for players on the field).
