Design in a different way in comparison with other complexes
Tehran is a city with 15 million populations and it means that there should be lots of public facilities in this city, but the main concern in the west of Tehran is the lack of sports complex, especially football. So in our studio design, they told us that we have to design a sports complex with several usages. This complex can be used in basketball, handball, volleyball and futsal and pool and gym are also needed in this complex for its members.
This complex satisfies all the needs of athletes. They build their body and become ready for their competition. Parking is other main issue in this region of Tehran which could cause several traffic issues in the west of Tehran. The structure in the sports complex is really important. This complex has 15,000 capacity for people inside so it has to be strong. While the stadium had been designed, the Hercules and strength was the main idea. So they came from the paint and the idea of holding a giant stone. While I was drawing the paint I was thinking of power and strength so the lines are sharp and heavy. Lines became roof and crust of the complex. In this design, the only order for the design was a salon for sports, but my design had the capacity for adding a swimming pool to the complex.
It has 300 parking lots to solve park issues. These units are under the ground, it had been imagined that Adidas was the sponsor of this complex so there is a huge store inside the complex and also a small store on the border of the site.
