OVERVIEW TOPIC FEATURES ABOUT THE TOPIC

SUMMARY STATISTICS : NATIONAL

Objective: Identification of potential areas of intervention in India

Key findings :

✓TripAdvisor’s 2020 travel survey has confirmed that too! Goa has been placed 11th in the global ranking of the most popular destinations in the world

✓Karnataka had 8,76 358 domestic tourists and 2,82,022 International tourists visiting the state in 2020 10th in terms of the number of international tourist visits

IDENTIFICATION OF CURRENT ISSUES (tourism aspect)

The strengths of Goa as a tourist destination are as follows

✓Presence of rich flora and fauna, historical forts and royal palaces, temples and heritage sites, beaches and hills, wildlife and bird sanctuaries

✓Variety of potential tourist attractions within short distances

✓Virgin and unexplored destinations

✓Adequate availability of Infrastructure like Power, Water and Communication

✓Largely literate local community

✓Stable Government and Transparent administration

✓The climate essentially being a tropical monsoon type is a joy for the visiting tourists

✓Land of peace and communal harmony

The weaknesses of Goa as a tourist destination are as follows

✓Poor accessibility to many tourist destinations due to basic Infrastructure bottlenecks

✓Lack of tourist infrastructure & basic amenities at many tourist destinations

✓Lack of information about tourist destinations

✓Limited awareness among local community and misconceptions that tourism will bring environmental and social problems

✓Unaggressive marketing and promotion of the tourist destinations

YEAR DOMESTIC INTERNATIONAL TOTAL PERCENTAGE

Share of top 10 states by domestic tourist visits (tourism.gov.in –Tourism Statistics, 2019)

✓Despite being the smallest state in the country, Goa has shown a very high potential in terms of tourism and it can be further increased and exploited

There is great potential for improving Goa`s rankings in terms of domestic tourists and an infrastructure for footballing community can play a major role in this push

Share of top 11 states by international tourist visits (tourism.gov.in –Tourism Statistics, 2019)

NEED FOR PROJECT

- India is a sleeping giant in footballing world, with a poor reputation at international stage mainly due to lack of infrastructure

- - Stakeholders of football understand that India needs to invest more and build infrastructure all across the country to facilitate young footballers.

- The fact is , the number of football-centric stadiums in the country are far too less to promote or nurture Indian football

RELEVANCE OF PROJECT

FEATURES FOR RELEVANCE IN THE STATE OF GOA

● It is a state of toddy tappers, bakers and farmers

● Once the fields were harvested – everyone formed a team, the churches, the temples, the clubs and the inter-village tournaments sang a stirring, soulful backdrop to everyday life.

● Now-a-days, young boys are immersed in phones and slouching over two-wheelers instead of running about on open fields

AIM & OBJECTIVES

Goa has had an insane amount of footballing culture Goa on the verge of becoming a football hub

SCOPE & LIMITATIONS

Scope:

- The project is made to evaluate the location, design and space for a multipurpose stadium in Vasco da Gama, Goa

- It can cover the events of football, cricket, track running and concerts

- Situated in Vasco da Gama since it has historical relevance to football in the area, and main focus is of promoting it

Football has seen a resurgence in goa in the past few years

NEED OF FOOTBALL INFRASTRUCTURE IS A CONCERN IN INDIA

To design a green multipurpose stadium/training ground implementing piezoelectric and solar tech

To determine a suitable location for the same by encourage tourism experiences with a low impact on the environment and resources

To establish and resusciate football in goa with the use of modern sustainable technologies for captivating and promoting the youth generation

To promote the imageability of Goa as an attractive tourism destination and place it prominently on the domestic and global tourism map.

ENQUIRY

- Although Indian Football is about to rise from its ashes, Lack of quality football stadiums is a problem for India, considering the benefits of the sport for the country, both economically and politically. As we know Indian footballers do not get the opportunity at national level because of lack of political support and facilities.

- Football as a sport, despite of having immense potential, has been a neglected area of study in our country. Study and research related sports architecture, football stadiums, infrastructure and the like can help highlight the issues and problems coming in the way of the development of such an infrastructure and various inputs in this field are necessary to reach a solution of the above said problem.

- Hence, it seems an extreme necessity to conduct one of such studies in order to throw some light on the area of sports, particularly football, and to find out what role can architecture play in spreading awareness and promoting a game which can be greatly beneficial for the country.

INTERNATIONAL CASES

ALLIANZ ARENA, MUNICH, GERMANY

The Allianz Arena, opened in 2005, was designed purely as a football stadium. With its unusual external and chameleonic appearance, its façade can change colors according team there, red, blue or white

The Allianz Arena has seven different levels, which divide players, press, VIP, staff, security and the general public. The intention of the architects was to make a stadium as architecture work and not exclusively of engineering

Roof

The roof uses an intricate system of steel beams and pillars of different sizes. The pieces need to be hoisted at 50 meters by a super crane. The larger trusses are 65 meters and weigh 100 tons. The master beams are arranged like the braces of a bicycle wheel, forming a strong and light structure

Steel grid

The steel grid that extends from the roof to facade is one of the great attractions of the project. It is a composite of diamond-shaped cushioned shells attached to a metal grid

Lighting

One of the architects' main wishes was that the roof membrane was illuminated. A computerized electrical system is able to turn on and off the lights of each panel individually. There are 25,000 fluorescent lamps that make the Allianz Arena a bright spectacle on Munich nights

Proximity/ presence of vegetative growth and/ or water body

SELECTION CRITERIA

Objective:

- Presence of basic amenities and CISF base - Proximity to Airport and express way - Absence of significant vegetation on site

LIVE CASE STUDIES IDENTIFIED OVERVIEW OF CASE STUDIES

1. NEHRU STADIUM, FATORDA , GOA

2. YOUTH FUTSAL ACADEMY, CHOWGULE COLLEGE, GOA

METHODOLOGY

The approach adopted here is that of learning from examples. Neglect of football infrastructure in the country has been identified as a problem and the solution has been derived at through constant research and improvements in the design.

The study has been carried out using both primary and secondary methods of research.

Primary method majorly includes discussions with the development authority which has proposed the site for the stadium, case studies, site analysis and studying roof structure designs by creating models similar to their forms.

The secondary method consists of data collection by reading books, studying similar theses and collecting information and imagery from the internet.

FIFA provides a stadium construction manual which has been of a great help in the study and the design.

Experiments with the form of the stadium, its structure and the latest technology used have been researched on.

In this study, site planning has been given the utmost importance. The master planning of the site includes the study of orientation of the stadium, the circulation pattern of all the visitors, thorough study of functions and building services. Traffic management and the site's relationship with the surroundings have also been looked into.

Designing the complex consists of following up with the activities in a stadium complex from case studies, looking as their landscaping, transportation and parking pattern in order to avoid any wastage of space.

TEMPERATURE

IN COMMERCIAL ZONES, PLOTS WHICH ARE ABUTTING ROADS 10 METERS WIDE AND LESS, SHALL HAVE FRONT SETBACK OF 5 METERS

LAND USE MAP

DRAINAGE METHODS

DEPENDING ON THE TOPOGRAPHY , BIOSWALES AND RAIN GARDENS CAN BE USED TO DEAL WITH EXCESS SURFACE RUNOFF OR DRAINAGE

BIOSWALES ENSURE THAT EXCESS WATER AND DEBRIS THAT MAY ENTER , GET FILTERED AND EXCESS , CLEANER WATER IS LET OUT.

DRAINAGE DIRECTION

AREA FOR FUTURE EXPANSION

MICROCLIMATE

THE LARGE WATER BODY NEARBY WILL EXPERIENCE HIGH LEVELS OF EVAPORATION , WHICH WILL ALSO INCREASE THE MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE AIR THE ASSOCIATED UPTAKE OF LATENT HEAT PROVIDES AND ADDITIONAL DAYTIME COOLING EFFECT.

THE WATER BODIES OPERATE AS THE COOLING SOURCE ON THE MICROCLIMATE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE AIR IS FILTERED BY THE TREES LINING SITE BOUNDARIES .

SCALE 1:1500

AFTER 36.00 MTS. HEIGHT THE SIDE/REAR SETBACKS SHALL BE INCREASED BY 1.00 MTR., FOR EVERY 4.00 MTS. ADDITIONAL HEIGHT, PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE MAXIMUM SETBACK WHICH CAN BE INSISTED BY THE AUTHORITIES SHALL BE ATLEAST 15.00 MTS., IRRESPECTIVE OF THE HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING.

VEGETATION

VEGETATION FROM MIDDLE AREAS OF THE SITE CAN BE TRANSPLANTED INTO OTHER AREAS , DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES CAN BE USED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES LIKE AS SHADING DEVICES , OR TO FORM A WIND BARRIER NEAR THE EDGES OF THE SITE.

COIR LOGS ARE ANOTHER RIVERBANK EROSION REPAIR METHOD MADE USING COCONUT FIBER. COIR LOGS ARE LARGE IN DIAMETER, WHICH MAKES THEM IDEAL FOR SUPPORTING BANKS OR BEING USED FOR EROSION CONTROL ON HILLS, SHORELINES, AND OTHER AREAS PRONE TO EROSION

WHEN SELECTING NATURAL VEGETATION TO CONTROL BANK EROSION, YOU CAN ALSO OPT FOR PLANTS KNOWN FOR THEIR EXPANSIVE ROOT SYSTEMS AND ABILITY TO GROW NEAR WATER

• NO OBSTRUCTIONS FROM NEARBY BUILDINGS

• RESIDENTIAL AREAS SITUATED AT A MODERATE DISTANCE

SITE SECTION & SLOPE

ANOTHER

COMMON OPTION FOR EROSION CONTROL IS A SOIL EROSION MAT. WHILE THESE MATS ARE SOMETIMES MADE WITH WOOD FIBER OR STRAW, ONE OF THE TOP MATERIALS USED IS COIR COCONUT FIBER. THIS IS BECAUSE COIR IS STRONG YET NATURAL. PLUS, UNLIKE STRAW OR WOOD, COIR CAN LAST IN THE WATER ANYWHERE FROM TWO TO FIVE YEAR

INFERENCE:

• WESTERN FAÇADE MUST HAVE LESSER OPENINGS AND LONG SHADING DEVICES TO PREVENT HARSH SUNLIGHT DURING DAYTIME.

• WESTERN PART OF THE SITE CAN BE USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSE SINCE IT RECEIVES SHADE

• LONGER SIDE OF BUILDING SHOULD BE ORIENTED N-S DIRECTION.

• BUFFER SPACES TO BE PROVIDED IN SOUTH-WESTERN PART (wind path).

• SENSE OF BOUNDARY TO BE PROVIDED TO AVOID TRESPASSERS.

• UNWANTED VIEWS CAN BE COVERED BY LANDSCAPING

• ALL THE SPACES SHOULD HAVE GOOD VIEW SO THE BUILDINGS MUST BE SPACED OUT WITH ENVELOPES

SOIL

ALLUVIAL + LATERITE

THE SOIL NEAR SEASIDE GETS ERODED VERY EASILY DUE TO EXCESS WATER FLOW STRIPPING AWAY LAYERS OF SOIL .

3 MAIN METHODS TO DEAL WITH SOIL EROSION IN THIS CASE ARECOIR LOGS ARE ANOTHER RIVERBANK EROSION REPAIR METHOD MADE USING COCONUT FIBER. COIR LOGS ARE LARGE IN DIAMETER, WHICH MAKES THEM IDEAL FOR SUPPORTING BANKS OR BEING USED FOR EROSION CONTROL ON HILLS, SHORELINES, AND OTHER AREAS PRONE TO EROSION

DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES CAN BE USED FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES LIKE AS SHADING DEVICES , OR TO FORM A WIND BARRIER NEAR THE EDGES OF THE SITE.

• A SIMILAR PATTERN CAN BE FOLLOWED TO ENSURE PROPER VENTILATION

• ENSURES VIEWS TO ALL SIDES • MICROCLIMATE CAN BE MAINTAINED

•USE OF OVERHANG , SIDE FIN AND SMALL OPENINGS TOWARDS THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE TO PREVENT HARSH SUNLIGHT

•RAFT OR MAT FOUNDATION CAN BE PROPOSED DUE TO THE SEASHORE

•STORMWATER MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO BE INCORPORATED DUE TO RAINFALL

•CATCHMENT AREA TO BE PROVIDED WHICH HELPS IN RESOLVING WATER PROBLEMS

•ALL THE TREES CAN BE EITHER RETAINED OR TRANSPLANTED DEPENDING ON THEIR LOCATION AND USE

•DUE TO HIGH SALINITY IN THE AIR, STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD BE USED AND ALSO PROPER MAINTENANCE OF THE MATERIALS SHOULD BE DONE TO PREVENT EROSION OF THE MATERIALS

STRENGTH

• STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR COMMERCIAL USE

• SITUATED CLOSE TO THE CITY AND AT A CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ALL SERVICES

• FLAT LAND

• ACCESSIBLE FROM HIGHWAY

• ELECTRICITY POLES NEAR THE SITE SO ELECTRIC SUPPLY WONT BE AN ISSUE

• HAS STORM WATER DRAIN

WEAKNESS

• ACCESS ROADS ARE SMALL NO GOOD WATER SUPPLY

• FOUL SMELL IS A THREAT

• TRAFFIC MIGHT CREATES JAMMING OF ROADS

• NOISE FROM THE ROADS

• NO GOOD VIEWS FROM ALL PARRTS OF THE SITE

OPPORTUNITY

• IT IS MIX OF TRADITIONAL AS WELL AS MODERN CULTURE THAT ATTRACTS MANY PEOPLE TOWARDS THE AREA

• SEA PORT AREA SO MANY JOB OPPURTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE

• DEVELOPING AREA SO FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF AREA

• SCOPE OF HOUSING FOR MIGRANT WOKERS

THREAT

• LOCATED NEAR THE SEA SO THE SOIL MIGHT BE LOOSE

• THREAT OF SALINE UNDERGROUND WATER

• CHANCES OF FLOODING IF PROPER DRAINAGE SYSTEM IS NOT PROVIDED

• THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING SHOULD BE WEATHER RESISTANT TO THE MICROCLIMATIC CONDITIONS TO PREVENT CORRODING OF THE MATERIALS

CONCEPT: PARAMETRIC MODERNIZATION

GENERAL AIM IS TO CREATE A PARADIGM IN DESIGN WHERE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELEMENTS IS USED TO MANIPULATE AND INFORM THE DESIGN OF COMPLEX GEOMETRIES AND STRUCTURES

DESIGN SOLUTIONS

• SHIELDING WALL

• ROUGHER TERRAINS

• ACCOUSTIC MATERIALS IN SEATING AREAS (LIMESTONE)

• ALIGNMENT WITH SLOPE AND WIND • FABRIC ENCLOSURE

• USING VEGETATION AS A BARRIER • RETAINING/SHIELDING WALLS FOR NOISE

REDUCTION

• THICK GLAZED STOREFRONT WALLS FOR PARAMETRIC ELEMENT •

ROOFING PANELS ARE ADJUSTED OVER CARRIERS(STEEL TRUSSES) AND THESE CARRIERS ROLL OVER THE STEEL RAILS WHICH ARE POWERED BY DC MOTORS.
