Form Finding _Research & Experiments
Form Finding The supporting elements like threads, cables and chains are considered non rigid when it only can convey axial, tensile forces either due to its type of manufacture or internal hinges. A non rigid supporting element assumes the form of a catenary when suspended by its ends and loaded by its dead weight. Inverted catenary produces thrust line which is an idealized form of rigid arch which is a distributed uniform load free of bending moments and stressed only by axial compression.
Parametric Catenary Study
Every Knot in a mesh is a suspension point. The two net lines intersecting at a knot yield self forming ridges. The ridges either transeverse the entire suspended form of project from the interior, according to the position and height of a suspension point relative to the overall of the hanging catenary.

Form Finding _Research & Experiments
The Catenary as a Thrust Line The question of how to form a vault in which no intersecting forces act other than axial compression was first given the answer toward the end of seventeenth century. The thrust chain independently assumes the form of most favourable thrust line. In 1750 Frezier rejected for aesthetic reasons the theoretical design of the barrel vault based on an inverted catenary. In practice, it is not difficult to keep this statically correct curve hidden with the thickness of the vault. The most evident inverted catenary to enbody the principle of the trust line is found in the structures of Spanish Architect Antonio Gaudi.
Form Finding Experiments The form finding process is the framework within which the structure is planned and developed under the application of a form finding method. A form finding process is iterative, optimization process. The form of tensile stressed membrane and cable constructions can be determined by means of soap bubble model medium. The form of grid shells can be found by using a hanging, non rigid net as the mode medium. The forms of suspended constructions arise when the suspended form is used directly without inverting it.

Suspension form does not have rigid edges. A non rigid edge of suspended formis formed by a net edge line between two suspension points. Once given the support conditions for the suspended mesh, the curvature of the flexible edge cannot be influenced; it is self forming line suspension: the mesh hangs along a straightline or arbitrary curve. A rigid edge is formed by a component foreign to the mesh which is a pre curved wire or a board sawed to dimensions.

92’ Pavilion Design_Catenary Cable Hybrid
The Pavilion transmits an optical effect of tenting, axiality, verticality and makes it a expirential space on leisure walk. The pavilion is composed of four arched six catenary domes in semicirular pattern held with the cables. The span of the walk of pavilion is around 100 feet. The height of the section is gradually increased by gradual increase in height of the catenary surface as the base unit repeats itself on equal intervals.

The design of the pavilion aims at a sequential space which creates a array of experiences with hierarchy in spaces created and volumes underneath the catenary surface. The structure is grounded yet high and elevated. Furthermore the structure becomes a hybrid with catenary being hinged at four nodes in the ground and is attached to the struts with cables. The cables form the aesthetics of the open walkway behind the semi enclosed pavilion. Unnati Masurkar|Prof. Nick Bruscia

Pavilion Design_Catenary Cable Hybrid
The innermost ground arch of the pavilion acts as entry points with a semi enclosed access as being hinged by cable. The central ground arch of the pavilion becomes the main walkway which has hierarchy in terms of its roof heights. The furthermost ground arch of the pavilion is the open walkway to experience the pavilion structure from outside with overhang of cables of the structure. Pavilion Exterior Perspective

‘Outside, facing the city, the arena displays a lifeless wall; inside is a wall of people. The spectators turn their backs to the city. They have been lifted out of its structure of walls and streets and for the duration of their time in the arena they do not care about anything which happens there; they have left behind all their associations, rules and habits. Their remaining together in large numbers for the stated period of time is secure andtheir excitement has been promised them. But only under one definite condition: the discharge must take place inside the arena.’ - Elias Canetti in Crowds and Power

Stadium Architecture has its own distinctive typologies, engineering techniques and programmatic requirements: the stadium as an architechtonic and engineering masterpiece, as an aspect of urban developement plans and the stimulus for the revitalization of a region the stadium as an impulse for economic development. All these aspects can help the stadium fulfill an important multifunctional role for the surrounding area.

The character of the stadium and the users it attracts should be the result of the whole entourage which it ensembles like the cafeterias, souvenier and commercial shops, hall of fame, community spaces etc. The stadia like all other modern buildings like cinema halls and airports should provide a certain level of comfort and at the same time should particularly help in regenerating the city part thats fallen in depair.

Site Layout & North Elevation Caption 1. Site layout 2. North Elevation Concept The concept for the design of arena is based on the needs of city and the benefits of it to the youth as well as the citizens. The arena could serve for sporting activity as well as a place for recrecreation and retreat to the city dwellers.
