The disabled sports complex in Tehran, Iran consists of a single building structure that includes various sports facilities for the para-athletes namely: basketball, table tennis, chess, swimming and shooting. Another intriguing factor about the sports complex is that different functions, i.e. culture, sports and education have been coherently clubbed together in order to formulate the design and these functions have been merged in such a manner that the working of any of the functions, remains unaffected by the other. Further, considering the convenience and comfort of the disabled athletes, the entire northern facade of the building has been dedicated to the cores, where specific importance has been given to ramps that runs through the entire length of the building and connects the different levels together, thereby ensuring efficient and hassle-free movement of the para-athletes. 51 | CASE STUDY
