2.5.3 Materials on site

Investigation of existing materials, such as those found in the existing structures and materials, is used as an aesthetic generator. Existing materials also play a role in the proposed architectural context to celebrate the old. Important existing materials are concrete, steel, plaster, face brick and sand.

Concrete: As structural elements. Concrete is primarily employed as a support member within existing clubhouse buildings. Steel: Steel is largely employed on the external terraces of the main clubhouse constructions. Plaster: Portions of the existing structures are finished with plaster with a combination of brick work. Facebrick: Portions of the existing structures are finished with plaster with a combination of brick work. Sand: Existing sports fields have been ignored, revealing the beneath turf surface, and the sand could be reused.
