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

Live Case Studies Identified Overview Of Case Studies

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.
