Olusosun Stadium
This project is located on the Olusosun landfill which is located in Lagos, Nigeria. Current problems in the site and community around it are flooding and the accumulation of trash. As an atempt to solve these problems the topography is created with a mix of trash and dirt that is currently on the site. When it rains, the water will be directed by the topography in to several collection areas. Areas that should not be flooded are at a higer level. This keeps programs out of the water and uses the materials that are found on the site in a productive way.
This stadium will be an integral part of the community with many needs and activities for people. Accessibility to an open rooftop with plenty of room for activities and circulation and the use of many foors as a community center invites the public in.

Structures like the parking structure and the stadium itself can have the ability to change in the future as the needs of the people change. Parking structures can become housing and the stadium can come apart and become a new building for the community center and other future purpuses. The stadium is open to the park itself on one side to signify that this is not just a pri- vately owned building but rather a place that embraces the public and thrives on the movement and activity of the public.The circulation of the site and the open roof of the stadium serve as areas that can be used as a public market on days when there is not a game happening.
