Harmony in Motion
Two sports complexes share one architectural language. The rhythm of the windows and the contrast of light and dark volumes connect the series; the composition adapts to the brief.
Sports and recreation complexes
Architectural concept. Detailed design
A modular principle · adaptation to the brief
A shared system.
Different briefs.
The two complexes explore an adaptable architectural approach. The building is composed of related volumes: a taller sports hall and lower entrance and supporting spaces. Their arrangement can change to suit the programme and the site.
The modular principle lies in this shared approach to composition. The required rooms, floor areas, entrances and connections are determined by the brief; the rhythm of the glazing, materials and facade details keep the series recognisable.
Compare
the two versions.
The entrance fronts show how a shared architectural language develops into two different compositions. Select a complex below to explore all its views.
A compact
composition.
A tall light-coloured volume and a low entrance block are brought together by the canopy. Narrow windows set the vertical rhythm, while dark cladding marks the entrance. The first version has one prominent entrance accent, making the composition and the way in easy to read.
The same principle.
A different composition.
The second version extends the entrance frontage and introduces several dark accents. The composition changes while the window rhythm, materials and canopy line retain the character of the series. The same architectural principle develops into a more varied arrangement of lower blocks in front of the main volume.
From the concept
to detailed design.
The studio’s work covers both the architectural concept and detailed design. A shared architectural language is the starting point; each complex is developed for its own brief, with its own layouts, dimensions and construction details.
This allows the architectural approach to be reused while the specific building responds to the programme and conditions of its site.
The brief changes.
The architecture stays recognisable.
