 PREFACE
The release of the body from the tension and strain of work may be
understood as a natural physical response to fatigue. Yet relaxation as a
regulated right of human labour in the Western world emerged only in the
nineteenth century, and ever since has been repeatedlychecked by anxieties
about mass leisure and by the dynamics of economic growth.
Scientists began to understand the working body as a ‘motor’ with a
measurable capacity for work and the need for regularly spaced rest. Work
scientists like Angelo Mosso believed that output could be optimized if
exhaustion was avoided. Overwork reduced longevity, decreased fertility,
stunted the growth of youth, produced insomnia and nervousness, and
encouraged alcoholism and torpor. Efficiency in the human motor required
daily and weekly rest breaks and even regularly spaced rests within the
workday.
Since the 1970s, complex economic and social trends have reversed
the historical trend toward increased leisure time. Increased speed of
communications and transport along with the rise of global competition has
created the 24-hour economy and, with it, work at all hours. Economic
maximizing and consumerism have induced workers not only to opt for
overtime but to choose timesaving devices to aid in their leisure. This has
meant a saturation of free time with leisure goods and their maintenance.

 INTRODUCTION
Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic
refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or
sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. A
time in which individuals are not compelled to do anything, and are free to choose to relax
or to take part in a leisure activity. Leisure has important social functions, including relief
from the demands and restrictions of work.
Most people enjoy socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a hard day at
work. For many young people, having a regular night out a week is a normal part of their
free time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out in a restaurant,
watching a film, playing video games or dancing at a club.
 Types of leisure
 Active leisure activities involve the exertion of physical or mental energy. Low-impact
physical activities include walking and yoga, which expend little energy and have little
contact or competition. High-impact activities such as kick-boxing and football consume
much energy and are competitive. Some active leisure activities involve almost no
physical activity, but do require a substantial mental effort, such as playing chess or
painting a picture. Active leisure and recreation overlap significantly.
 Passive leisure activities are those in which a person does not exert any significant
physical or mental energy, such as going to the cinema, watching television, or gambling
on slot machines. Some leisure experts discourage these types of leisure activity, on the
grounds that they do not provide the benefits offered by active leisure activities. For
example, acting in a community drama (an active leisure activity) could build a person's
skills or self-confidence. Nevertheless, passive leisure activities are a good way of relaxing
for many people.
 Importance To The Indian Context
A new developed sporting infrastructure is a trade mark of developed nation of
today, where in attention can be diverted from basic issues to recreation and leisure
issues.so it becomes obligatory for every developing country to make developments in the
sports sector so that the health of the society and standard of living in general also
develop along with it.
 IMPORTANCE OF RECREATION SPORTS
 Recreational sports are important to the quality of life and communities. It has been long
associated with benefits to health such as heart disease, diabetes and bowel cancer. It
also helps decrease overweight and obesity numbers with regular physical activity among
people and communities.
 Recreational sports have been reported as changing lives. The activities create positive
outcomes such as confidence, self-respect, self-esteem, trust, self-reliance and leadership
abilities.
 “Over the last 15 years however, sports, outdoor pursuits and constructive leisure
activities have been a well-established feature of initiatives whose aim is to divert
offenders and young people at risk away from crime” (East Leigh, 2007). Therefore,
participating in recreational activities can help young men and women stay away from
crime and can become leaders.

7
 Recreational sports provide challenges and adventures for individuals. In the economic
aspect, promoting physical activity for employees makes good business sense. As for
college students, recreational sports programs and activities are correlated with overall
college satisfaction and success. Students become more socially oriented than other
students who don’t participated in recreational sports.
 Other benefits of recreational sports include reduction of stress, improvement of
happiness, build character, improve interaction with diverse sets of people, and contribute
to time management.
 Recreation is essential to the longevity of humans because it assists with lowering stress
levels. Organized recreational activities can be found at local parks, YMCA’s, churches,
and other community facilities. These types of programs are successful because they
include recreation for the entire family.
 Regular family activities can help everyone become more active and healthier. This gives
both parents and children the opportunity to interact as a family and have fun together. In
addition, some community facilities include senior citizen programming.
 Indoor recreational programs can include table tennis, racquetball, bowling, indoor
swimming, indoor treadmills, arts and crafts, indoor skating, and more.
 Outdoor recreational programs can include running, volleyball, basketball, football, Frisbee
tossing, swimming, and much more.
 Sports and health
 More and more number have secondary occupations .The number of people in non-
manual jobs has increased in the UK by approximately 20% over the last 20 years, whilst
the number of people manual appointment has fallen in the UK by around 35% over the
same period
 Regular exercise for men and women of all ages can provide the essential complement to
programs of preventive health care evolved by government and health authorities
 Cost of remedial care in health service rise inexorably year by year
 Investment in sports development is likely to pay back in the reduction of many avoidable
illness
 Sports and school
 If the number of people participating in sports are to be raised, on setting is more
important than school will be an asset for life
 A loss of playing fields and a lack of commitment to school sports can deprive youngsters
of their birthright This is a loss to nation as whole,
 Team work and achievement in sports impart a spirit of self-discipline, personal
achievement, and respect for others
 The implications of policies on the availabilities need care full study. Errors made now
would cost huge sums of money to repair for many young people opportunities may never
 It is important that people who leave school in further education have continuing access to
sports facilities
 The sports council believes that sharing facilities between schools and local people
confers positive benefits
 Such partnerships should be a factor in all local strategies for sports development
 It is important that maximum use is made of sports halls,pools,and pitches but it is equally
important that physical education should have a full role properly to create literacy in
movement as vital role to every person literacy as verbal expression itself
 Many sports clubs provide opportunities that school children might not otherwise have
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…IMPORTANCE OF RECREATION SPORTS

 Sports policy should promote such arrangement between club and schools, and school
and the community
 The aim should be to promote self confidence among children, to encourage school
leavers to maintain sporting activities in later life and it identifies and develop special
talent.
 TOPIC JUSTIFICATION
 Recreation is an activity of leisure, leisure being discretionary time.
 The "need to do something for recreation" is an essential element of human biology and
psychology. Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure
and are considered to be "fun".
 Etymology
 The term recreation appears to have been used in English first in the late 14th century,
first in the sense of "refreshment or curing of a sick person”, and derived turn from Latin
(re: "again", creare: "to create, bring forth, beget.).
 Prerequisites to leisure
 Humans spend their time in activities of daily living, work, sleep, social duties, and leisure,
the latter time being free from prior commitments to physiologic or social needs, a
prerequisite of recreation.
 Leisure has increased with increased longevity and, for many, with decreased hours spent
for physical and economic survival, yet others argue that time pressure has increased for
modern people, as they are committed to too many tasks.
 Other factors that account for an increased role of recreation are affluence, population
trends, and increased commercialization of recreational offerings.
 While one perception is that leisure is just "spare time", time not consumed by the
necessities of living, another holds that leisure is a force that allows individuals to consider
and reflect on the values and realities that are missed in the activities of daily life, thus
being an essential element of personal development and civilization.
 This direction of thought has even been extended to the view that leisure is the purpose
of work, and a reward in itself and "leisure life" reflects the values and character of a
nation. Leisure is considered a human right under the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights.
 Play, recreation and work
 Recreation is difficult to separate from the general concept of play, which is usually the
term for children's recreational activity. Children may playfully imitate activities that reflect
the realities of adult life. It has been proposed that play or recreational activities are outlets
of or expression of excess energy, channeling it into socially acceptable activities that
fulfill individual as well as societal needs, without need for compulsion, and providing
satisfaction and pleasure for the participant.
 A traditional view holds that work is supported by recreation, recreation being useful to
"recharge the battery" so that work performance is improved. Work, an activity generally
performed out of economic necessity and useful for society and organized within the
economic framework, however can also be pleasurable and may be self-imposed thus
blurring the distinction to recreation.
 Many activities may be work for one person and recreation for another, or, at an individual
level, over time recreational activity may become work, and vice versa. Thus, for a
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…..…TOPIC JUSTIFICATION

9
musician, playing an instrument may be at one time a profession, and at another a
recreation. Similarly, it may be difficult to separate education from recreation as in the
case of recreational mathematics.
 Recreational activities
 Recreation is an essential part of human life and finds many different forms which are
shaped naturally by individual interests but also by the surrounding social construction.
 Recreational activities can be communal or solitary, active or passive, outdoors or indoors,
healthy or harmful, and useful for society or detrimental.
 A list of typical activities could be almost endless including most human activities, a few
examples being reading, playing or listening to music, watching movies or TV, gardening,
hunting, hobbies, sports, studies, and travel. Some recreational activities - such as
gambling, recreational drug use, or delinquent activities - may violate societal norms and
laws.
 Public space such as parks and beaches are essential venues for many recreational
activities. Tourism has recognized that many visitors are specifically attracted by
recreational offerings.
 In support of recreational activities government has taken an important role in their
creation, maintenance, and organization, and whole industries have developed
merchandise or services. Recreation-related business is an important factor in the
economy; it has been estimated that the outdoor recreation sector alone contributes $730
billion annually to the U.S. economy and generates 6.5 million jobs.
 Health and recreation
 Recreation has many health benefits, and, accordingly, Therapeutic Recreation has been
developed to take advantage of this effect. The National Council for Therapeutic
Recreation Certification (NCTRC) is the nationally recognized credentialing organization
for the profession of Therapeutic Recreation.
 Professionals in the field of Therapeutic Recreation who are certified by the NCTRC are
called "Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists". The job title "Recreation Therapist"
is identified in the U.S. Dept. of Labor's Occupation Outlook. Such therapy is applied in
rehabilitation, psychiatric facilities for youth and adults and in the care of the elderly, the
disabled, or people with chronic diseases.
 Recreational physical activity is important to reduce obesity, and the risk of osteoporosis
and of cancer, most significantly in men that of colon and prostate, and in women that of
the breast; however, not all malignancies are reduced as outdoor recreation has been
linked to a higher risk of melanoma. Extreme adventure recreation naturally carries its own
hazards.
 Recreation as a career
 A recreation specialist would be expected to meet the recreational needs of a community
or assigned interest group. Educational institutions offer courses that lead to a degree as
a Bachelor of Arts in recreation management.
 People with such degrees often work in parks and recreation clubs in towns, on
community projects and activities. Networking with instructors, budgeting, and evaluation
of continuing programs are common job duties.
 In the United States, most states have a professional organization for continuing
education and certification in recreation management. The National Recreation and Park
Association administer a certification program called the CPRP (Certified Park and

10
Recreation Professional) that is considered a national standard for professional recreation
specialist practices.
 Need For The Topic
 Sports have been given secondary importance and are quite a neglected aspect,
particularly in huge metropolitan cities. This is due to the lack of sufficient and proper
facilities and due to the hectic lives that we all are living. Increase in migration rate causes
overcrowding and reduction in open spaces. There is an acute shortage of playing
facilities. Reasons behind this are:
 Encroachment of civilization which have robbed us of our natural playing fields.
 Shortages of funds as the people have still not realized the importance of sports in their
lives and hence no initiative is taken by them. While other countries have progressed by
leaps and bounds, Indian sports are still far behind.
 Even growing commercial centers like Thane don’t have facilities for competitions along
with training facilities which is absolutely necessary. There are few sports clubs but
restricted only to a chosen few as these are commercial clubs.
 Talented younger generation has to remain satisfied within the building courtyards. Amidst
the mushrooming concrete jungle, a place like a RECREATION CLUB would cater to an
important aspect of human life. It would open the door to another dimension of the
metropolis man, so respectfully ignored and neglected by majority.
 In cities we have a lot of talented youngsters but the facilities are lacking at that level. A lot
of talent is present in the junior and sub-junior level. They are our future and we should
promote the games at these levels, in order to spot talent. The design of sporting
installations is a fascinating challenge which often leads to the creation of magnificent
works that typically combine pragmatism and aesthetics.
 The diversity of these works is a direct consequence of the evolution of sport which has
led to the replacement of artistic academism by innovative ideas and new forms, even
though there are still certain common aspects which have become the distinguishing
features of the typology known as SPORTS ARCHITECTURE.
 The public nature of a RECREATION CLUB is a direct consequence of a view of sporting
activity as a pleasant social activity and an effective means of promoting interpersonal
communication.
 Its designing would involve not only spatial design but also the structural design is given
equal weightage. Another aspect which the architect has to consider is the various
services involved. Therefore in dealing with a RECREATION CLUB as a design
dissertation topic, scope for architectural ability along with applied sciences like services is
present.
 Aims & objectives
 URBAN: City level
 CATALYST: An event or thing causing a change.
 Thus, the main aim of the project is to introduce urban catalysts within the fabric of the
place.
 In saying that the idea is to provide people with more interaction platforms before mankind
completely loses the ability to communicate with one another.
 The thesis aims at understanding a particular space of existence in its entirety. With this
understanding in mind, it then looks to provide a sensitized plan of action taking into
consideration the stake holders amongst the local communities, interaction amongst its

11
surrounding landscape along with the daily nuances of the individual localities. An attempt
has been made to counter three major concerns:
 Providing for interaction spaces for people in neighbourhood.as time moves people are
getting more and more busy with their lifes.giving them a reason to celebrate life’
 Providing for the open spaces lost in a neighborhood that is constantly getting denser. The
adjoining cityscape has been getting denser owing to the increased commercial activities.
The connectivity it offers through the rail-road network has led to the increased congestion
& a denser neighborhood.
 Resolving the urban conflict between the Infrastructural Development & the Local
Community. The issue needs to be addressed keeping not just the development factor in
mind but also paying heed to the daily needs of the local community.
 Scope & limitation
THANE spans the east and west, antiquity to modernity, it is rich and poor, high rise and
slum, and has offices and malls sharing common compounds in new interpretations of
space. The transformation of Indian life that has occurred in the past few decades can be
well interpreted here. There are unlimited opportunities to present in THANE. Be it the
history, the culture, prominent location; the SUBURB has the right ingredients which are
waiting to be explored and presented in the right gourmet.
 Evolution of sports and recreation
 Activities of the present are the ones being inherited from our ancestors and being
modified from time to time. Before civilization had ushered into the historic arena and
before the onset of the machine age, man led a hard and robust life in contrast to the soft
and luxurious life of today the hard work for surviving done by the primitives contributed to
the physical perfection and there was no necessity for organized system to physical
education
 With the advancement of the civilization, physical degradation took place because of less
exertion in the machine age life. Thus, the need is felt for body developement.human body
has not indeed and cannot have altered greatly. Habits and living have altered beyond
recognition and the strain of modern life needs correction, if balance is to be presser end
and true functions of life acchieved.hence the need for an organized system of physical
education is needed to compensate the loss sustained by man.the desire to pay is one of
the strongest instincts of the human race.it is the easiest way to express to one’s natural
emotions. Even the king displayed their hammer throwing power with a blacks tossed
great stones like present day .open spaces are essential for living. Encroachment of
civilization has robbed us of our natural play fields and grounds. Towns had central open
spaces between clusters of houses for gains and to be express their playing instincts
which are essential and inherent.disapperewance of gardens has largely been the
construction of factories and houses
 Different kinds of sports and open spaces are both very important in the life and welfare of
mankind, today people flock to watch matches not because they do not wish to play but to
satisfy these instincts of facilities keep them away from their love for sports. They love
sports and derive benefits from open air excitement, tensing of muscles as they watch and
cheer makes them use their lungs. Millions years for open spaces and weekend holidays.
What they really have is an urge to go back to nature and so people love seeing outdoor
sports

12
 Thus sports filed provide fresh air and act as communal center. They therefore are nation
assists
 Thus they are not just Victorian parks with bands or well-equipped recreation club but
place designed for recreation with people with people instruct, supervise and improve
physical fitness of people and encourage them with knowledge
 Due to acute shortage of genuine playing facilities and management, the sporting talent of
the youngsters is more or less getting suppressed
 Lack of sporting facilities may divert the talent energies of the youth to unsalutory
activities,
 Sports and games have very important role in the growth and development of mind and
body.it also provide a ladder of fulfillment and success to youngsters who may otherwise
be crowded in uncomfortable housing or tempted to a wayward life on the streets
 Hence, the need for an organized system physical education is needed to compensate the
loss sustained by man
 People all over the world are showing kin interest in the international sporting events like
the Olympics Asian games and commonwealth games winning medals in such events has
become a prestige issue for both individuals and nation
 Different kinds of sports and open spaces are both very important in the life and welfare of
mankind.today,people flock to watch matches not because they do not wish to play but to
satisfy their instincts
 Contribute to grater fitness, better health and sense of personal well being
 Plays a vital part in rounded education for children
 Generates large sums of money for national economics
 Provides a large number of jobs
 Promotes and enhances standing in the world
 Present day standards of an international competition demand high degree of technical
skills for precious time and sequence schedules and affective insulation distribution
 Many of today’s sports recognized events are necessarily held indoors
 The covering provides protection to the spectrum from both rain and sunlight
 Sport, even when its cost are considered gives far more than it consumers
 Today, epic revolution in sports has radically changed the sports movement
 The sports council believes the investment in sports and recreation is worthwhile
 In hard times as well as in good
 Thus there is a need to establish a hierarchy in sports education and admiration at
national state, regional and district level
 Sports and sporting activities
 The advancement of science and technology is providing more and more leisure time to
people all over the world and hence they are taking to sports and games at scale unseen

13
in past. More and more games are being internationalized. The number of inter-national
sporting events is increasing .people all over the world are showing a keener interest in
the international sporting events like the Olympics, Asian games and commonwealth
games and winning medals in such evens has become a prestige issue for both
individuals and nations.
 INTERACTION AND IMPORTANCE
 Social interaction is the process by which we act and react to those around us. In a
nutshell, social interaction includes those acts people perform toward each other and the
responses they give in return. Social interaction includes a large number of behaviors so
many that in sociology interaction is usually divided into three categories.
 The solution
 Interaction in public spaces is an old tradition and needs to be policy of contemporary
cities.
 A good city should have a good community life. Urbanized centers world over have a
tendency to create individual spaces and gated communities which result in aloofness,
loneliness and depressed lifestyles. Sense of community fades and individualism takes
over. According to urbanologist Jan Gehl when the city whole heartedly invites to walk,
stand and sit in the city’s common space a new urban pattern emerges: more people walk
and stay in the city. We need to design cities as meeting places — for small events and
larger perspectives. City designers need to set the stage for necessary activities like
walking, optional activities like enjoying a view and social activities like tempting public
interaction. Public institutions tempt public interaction and greatly enhance and
consolidate social, cultural and community aspirations. Historically public institutions like
libraries, cultural centers, theatres, planned squares and chowks, etc. have led to
significant movements, demonstrations and alternate thinking. For now and for the future it
is necessary to establish public institutions to contribute and enrich the life of all the
people in the city and facilitate growth of public engagement and knowledge for human
development. By building public spaces we weave psychological and intellectual growth
into a comprehensive physical plan while bringing substance to the notion of public realm.
 The Importance
 Active and passive recreational opportunity.

14
 Natural features and spaces important to defining community image and distinctive
character.
 Boundaries between incompatible uses and breaks from continuous development. They
can shape land use patterns to promote more compact, efficient-to-service development.
 Places for facilities, such as zoos, aquariums, cultural and historical sites, and community
centers that contribute educational and cultural benefits.
 Opportunity to prevent youth crime through park and recreation programs that offer social
support from adult leaders; leadership opportunities for youth; intensive and individualized
attention to participants; a sense of group belonging; youth input into program decisions;
and opportunities for community services.
 Healthy lifestyles enhancement by facilitating improvements in physical fitness through
exercise, and also by facilitating positive emotional, intellectual, and social experiences.
 Historic preservation opportunities to remind people of what they once were, who they are,
what they are, and where they are.
 RESEARCH
 Sequence of design
 All design are being set out from the flowing determination factor
 Pitch/central area. The starting point of design is the central area or the playing field, its
shape, dimensions and orientation must enable it to fulfill all the functions required of it
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………INTERACTION AND IMPORTANCE

15
 Seating capacity. If the pitch is of variable enter for very different activities then the design
capacity should be stated as we figure
 The numbers of seats around the maximum pitch size, and the maximum capacity around
the smallest space user. The stadium owner will have a very strong view on seating
capacity as this form the basis of their profitability calculation
 Orientation. Pitch orientation must he suitable for the event to be shaped
 The orientation of the playing field will depend on the uses to which it will put to, the main
factor being
 The hemisphere in which the recreation club located
 The period of the year in which the designed sports will be played
 Zoning .finally a discipline for the arrangement of all the element of the stadium ,from the
pitch at the center for the parking space outside is ,provide by the need for safety zone
 Having set orientation the next priority is to plan the position of the stadium of the site, and
to start thinking about the interrelationship its major parts, and this is best done by
identifying the four zones which make up the safety plans. The size and the location of
these zones are critical to the performance tot the stadium in all emergencies, and they
are
 Zone1 the activity area that is the control area /or pitch on which the games takes place
 Zone 2 the spectator terrace and concourse surroundings the activity area
 Zone 3 the circulation area surrounding the stadium structure and separating it from the
parking
 Zone 4 the open space outside the perimeter fence and separating it from the car parking
 The purpose of such zoning is to allow spectators to escape from the seats, in an
emergency to a series of interdict safety zones leading ultimately to place of permanent
safety outside .it provide a clear and helpful framework for design not only from new stadia
but also for refurbishment of existing facilities
 Evolution of design
 As a project under consideration includes the number of activities or function, which has
little scope for flexibility in most of the designing concept, applied is of form follows
function
 The playing arena ,which is the defining factor of a stadium itself, is defined by the
regulation and standards stipulated for the individual sports considered for playing in
stadiums
 The spectator seating depending on the calculated or estimated capacity of spectator
expected during a large tournament is provided all around the arena
 The stadium being massive structure occupying the vast portion of the site including the
parking area was designed first and then was followed by the other forms of structure
 Energy efficiency
 Since various service such as toilets, changing rooms, ventilation plant rooms,etc.need
fresh air they are placed along the periphery of the stadium thus saving the energy
expenditure
 Since the aim of the project is to promote interaction between the people themselves,
between the public and sport person and most importantly to arouse and encourage new
interest in the visitors, informal interaction spaces have been introduced in the design and
in a manner so as to least obstruct or disturb the game going in on there

 Promotion of sports
 The Government plays a major role in promoting and developing sports in a country. The
Government and Governmental organizations constitute the Public Sector of the sports
industry which is responsible for making sports policies, allocating funds for developing
infrastructure, nurturing talents, designing specialized programmers like dope control etc.
The Planning Commission of India estimates that the country will be the home of
approximately 510 million people of the age group of 15 to 35 years by 2016. The role of
Government, therefore, is extremely important in providing participation opportunities to
the youth of India for the overall development of sports.
 1982 was a landmark year in Indian sports when India organized the Asian Games. Prior
to 1982, hardly any emphasis had been given to sports in Public Policies. Funds had been
allocated to sports in different Five Year Plans, mainly for building infrastructure and
nurturing talents at the grass root level.
 Five Year PlansThrust Areas
 2nd Five Year Plan - Developing sports infrastructure
 3rd Five Year Plan - Grass root developmental activities
 4th Five Year Plan - Grass root developmental activities
 5th Five Year Plan - Carried forward the initiatives of 4th Five Year Plan
 6th Five Year Plan - Selecting and nurturing young sporting talents across the country
 7th Five Year Plan - Building sports infrastructure at the grass root level
 8th Five Year Plan - Consolidating the initiatives adopted in the 7th Five Year Plan by
introducing a number of schemes, such as Special Area Games (SAG), Sports Project
Development Area Centers (SPDA etc.)
 9th Five Year Plan - Developing sports talents
 10th Five Year Plan - Making the Comprehensive Sports Policy with three main objectives:
“Sports for All”, “Excellence in Sports” and “Contingent Constitutional, Legal and
Institutional measures to implement the policy”.
 An increase in allocation of funds for Sports in different Five Year Plans can be observed
from the following table:
 Five Year Plans Allocation (INR million)
 Sixth Five Year Plan (1980- 1985) 270 million
 Seventh Five Year Plan (1985- 1989) 2,070 million
 Eighth Five Year Plan (1992-1997) 2,100 million
 Ninth Five Year Plan (1997- 2002) 4,730 million
 Tenth Five Year Plan (2002- 2007) 11,450 million
 Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012) 46,360 million
 In spite of a significant increase in the allocation of fund, it is important to note that not
more than one percent of total budget is allocated to sports. Hence, there is a scope of
improvement in terms of fund allocation for the promotion and development of sports in
this country.
 Considering the developmental aspect of sports, the Panchayat Yuva Krida Aur Khel
Abhiyan (PYKKA) had been introduced to generate sports culture at the grass root level.
The objectives of the scheme are to provide sports infrastructure/ equipment’s at the
Panchayat level and to encourage youth in rural areas to participate in sports. Various
competitions are organized from block level to national level to achieve these objectives.

Rs. 1,500 crore has been approved by the Planning Commission for this project in the
11th Five Year Plan and a budgetary allocation of Rs. 92 crore was provided in the
scheme for 2008-09 while Rs. 160 crore was provided for 2009-10.
 The effectiveness of these initiatives should be evaluated on the basis of the success of
Indian athletes at the international level. It is relevant to mention that the result is not
enough convincing. Therefore, a few recommendations can be made for making the
system more effective.
 Recommendations
 The allocation of funds to sport, as a percentage of budgets, can be increased for broad-
basing sports in this country.
 Periodic evaluation of various projects initiated by the Government and Governmental
organizations for making those initiatives more effective.
 Integration of sports with education to introduce sports culture in India.
 Sports is a state subject and therefore uniformity in sports specific activities of various
states in India is extremely important for providing equal sporting opportunities to all the
citizens of the country.
 A structure of good governance should be incorporated to make the system transparent
and accountable.
 Sepp Blatter, the President of FIFA, once said that India is a sleeping giant in football. The
same is applicable for any other discipline of sports. Considering the social impact of
sports and the enormous potential of this country, we may expect that the Government will
play a pro-active role in making India a sporting nation.
 Need of combining conventional sports with leisure sports
 sports always are played professional some sports are looked upon as in leisure activity
.by combining sports like pools,tennis,bowling,skating with conventional sports help in
creating enthusiasm are liking for sports. Large masses of people are attracted towards
such sports center
 Main problem faced by sports complex is lack of recreational facilitites.fusion of
conventional sports will serve as recreational place to some extent. Even though sports
complex helps the professionals, normal man also has a right to experience them. Usually
stadiums are built as a venue for the championships, later whole year they are vacant and
deserted so as leisure games provided in the sports center it will attracts residential
people in the vanity of the complex, more over it funds the complex and help in
maintenance
 recreational sports would help in preparing a child or a person professionaly,which is
neglected aspects of India
 Today most of the people go to the health clubs for entertainment leisure. Thus the
conventional sports play an important role in day to day life of the people .regular workout
during the days keeps us refreshing .huge amount of teenagers want or just move out at
recreational places like bowling alleys, pool points
 moreover the indoor stadium provided is true sayings Olympics standards an can be a
venue for hosting national and international games this adds facilities
 Leisure sports are rapidly expanding market promising immense growth potential for
investment and to expand Indian market. Recently in Mumbai at lower parel ,co bowling
company has set open a bowling alley
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

18
 People are becoming westernized, thus there is a need for combing leisure sports with
conventional sports. Now here in Mumbai there is a fusion of these sports
 The leisure activities of a society keep evolving over time. Earlier leisure was related to
religious events, festivals and family gathering .now that here have loosened the string
held over the urban population other leisure activities rush into take place
 Scales of provisions
 Good toilet provision is intrinsic to a venue image while inadequate provision, uneven
distribution and poor quality are major sources of complaint from spectators. insufficient
toilets or urinals to meet the needs of large crowds of fans can also lead to misuse of the
facilities, offending and driving away potential visitors and club members, thus reducing
stadium revenue
 There are two separate design problem to he addressed
 The proportion of male to female spectators who will be using the toilets
 The intensive use of toilets in very short periods of time.
 Males to female ratio
 Every type of event or club membership, will have its own ratio of male to female
spectators for instance
 If a stadium is designed for multipurpose use including concerts, then the male: female
ratio will approach 1:1
 Tennis or athletics clubs or events will have higher proportion of woman than will soccer or
rugby
 Clubs with high family memberships will usually have above average proportion of females
 Higher status clubs, and clubs in pleasant parts of town, will tend to have higher
proportion of woman than those with basic image environment
 At particular event there may also be different gender mixes in different parts of stadium
 There will be higher proportion of woman in the private or family enclosure of British
football stadia than in the standing terraces
 There will be higher proportion of woman among the home supporters at the European
football match than among the way supporters
 On the basis of the above data gender mix should be reflected in the proportion of toilets
provided for that event ,organized clubs keep of the male/female split for particular
occasions and such clubs records are the only reliable source of briefing information for
new stadium design
 In view of the variation of the male/female ratio from the event sonic flexibility should be
built into toilet provision. movable partitions and defended section which can be labeled
either male or female for particular event are two possibilities .there solution may see an
extranvangece, but the problems of inadequate provision and customer dissatisfaction are
so great in stadium design that all possible solution must be considered in the interest of
attracting more spectators

level molding technology which absorbs mechanical forces in use. Copacabana was
created together with the famous international designer Marting Ballendat and is a
symbiosis of perfect design and solid construction. Therefore it rewarded an “Honorable
Mention” at the Red Dot Product Design Award 2011, the if product design award 2012
and the nomination for the German Design Award 2013. The Copacabana family includes
a seating shell, a tip up seat, a business seat and a VIP seat.
 Champion Deluxe
A VIP-seat of its own class. This chair with a slender
silhouette and headrest offers first-class seating comfort.
Embroidered club or sponsor logos make it an unmistakable,
unique seat. Options like cup holders and a storage bag on
the backrest ensure even more comfort. Champion Deluxe is
also available with leather covered side parts.
 Franken Compact
The classic among VIP seats. FRANKEN offers first-
class seating comfort in VIP areas all over the world.
Franken VIP has an extra-large seat pan, additional
plastic covers for protection and steel oval side
tubes to reduce risk of injury. The compact version is
more versatile so there are no losses concerning
seating comfort even if the step depth is limited.
 Bamberg and Krefeld
Bamberg and Krefeld are the perfect combination of
ergonomically designed perforated steel, durable
construction and patented folding mechanism using its
own weight. Bamberg and Krefeld seating has a
maintenance-free pivot spring mechanism, which is
integrated in the frame. Bamberg and Krefeld are suitable
for indoor and outdoor areas and by the filigree
appearance the robust characteristics are elegantly concealed.
 Types and materials
 Normally, seat frames are manufactured from steel, which is then galvanized or
thermoplastic-coated to provide protection against corrosion and wear. Seats and backs
may be injection-molded or upholstered, and be fixed to the horizontal or vertical part of
the stepped banking using a variety of mechanical fixings. Once installed, these seats
should be virtually maintenance free for a number of years. There are also telescopic
seating platform systems, which are designed for use in multi-purpose arenas. They
consist of banks of tiered seating which can be opened or closed at the touch of a button.
These systems also feature refined levels of finishing and may include guardrails, aisle
lights, row numbers and aisle letters. There are also mobile versions, which can be moved
On wheels and stored in a separate location. In the USA, stadium and arena seating is
often fully upholstered and is intended to improve spectator comfort. This level of comfort
has also made its way into some stadiums in Europe. Innovative designs based on good
ergonomic foundations can provide the individual with the perception of long-term comfort.
This is a useful advantage when some sports require the spectator to remain sitting for
long periods. Foam-based seating needs to remain resilient throughout the seat’s life and
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

23
should not significantly lose its thickness or hardness. Ventilation of the upholstery is also
important, together with a cover that remains intact during service, thus preventing
absorption and subsequent hygiene problems. Some of these aspects will be covered by
the standards listed above. However, in many cases, additional testing may be required to
show that a claim is justified.
 Flammability
 In addition, flammability requirements will need to be addressed. In the UK, the operator of
the building is responsible for fire safety (Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005).
The appropriate tests depend on the risk assessments of the facility undertaken by the
operator of the building. Whole item testing is often the most appropriate way of testing
these types of products, and BS 5852:2006 section 12 provides test methods for a variety
of ignition sources, including cigarette, match and cribs.
 Professional organizations may have their own specifications and requirements. For
instance, seating for football events must comply with FIFA (and, in Europe, UEFA)
regulations.
 Elements of car parking
 Public parking
 Private parking
 Buses coaches
 Motorcycles and bicycles
 Players parking’
 Official parking
 Media parking
 Services and deliveries
 Parking description
 The growing population of India has created many problems – one of the challenging ones
being car parking which we confront almost every day. Besides the problem of space for
cars moving on the road, greater is the problem of space for a parked vehicle considering
that private vehicles remain parked for most of their time. Roads are being built for cars to
ply but are we also giving the vehicles enough space to park. Parking is one of the major
problems that are created by the increasing road track. It is an impact of transport
development. The availability of less space in urban areas has increased the demand for
parking space especially in areas like Central business district.
 Parking statistics
 Parking accumulation It is defined as the number of vehicles parked at a given instant of
time. Normally this is expressed by accumulation curve. Accumulation curve is the graph
obtained by plotting the number of bays occupied with respect to time.
 Parking volume parking volume is the total number of vehicles parked at a given duration
of time. This does not account for repetition of vehicles.
 Parking load parking load gives the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be
obtained by simply multiplying the number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each
time interval with the time interval. It is expressed as vehicle hours.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

24
 Average parking duration it is the ratio of total vehicle hours to the number of vehicles
parked.
 Parking turnover it is the ratio of number of vehicles parked in duration to the number of
parking bays. This can be expressed as number of vehicles per bay per time duration.
 Parking index parking index is also called occupancy or efficiency. It is defined as the ratio
of number of bays occupied in time duration to the total space available. It gives an
aggregate measure of how effectively the parking space is utilized. Parking index can be
found out as follows Parking index = parking load/parking capacity × 100
 Effects of parking
 Parking has some effects like congestion, accidents, pollution, obstruction to fire-fighting
operations etc.
 Congestion Parking takes considerable street space leading to the lowering of the road
capacity. Hence, speed will be reduced; journey time and delay will also subsequently
increase. The operational cost of the vehicle increases leading to great economical loss to
the community.
 Accidents Careless manoeuvring of parking and unparking leads to accidents which are
referred to as parking accidents. Common type of parking accidents occur while driving
out a car from the parking area, careless opening of the doors of parked cars, and while
bringing in the vehicle to the parking lot for parking.
 Environmental pollution they also cause pollution to the environment because stopping
and starting of vehicles while parking and unparking results in noise and fumes. They also
aced the aesthetic beauty of the buildings because a car parked at every available space
creates a feeling that building rises from a plinth of cars.
 Obstruction to fire fighting operations Parked vehicles may obstruct the movement of fire
fighting vehicles. Sometimes they block access to hydrants and access to buildings.
 Types of Parking
 On street parking
On street parking means the vehicles are parked on the
sides of the street itself. This will be usually controlled by
government agencies itself. Common types of on-street
parking are as listed below. As per IRC the standard
dimensions of a car is taken as 5× 2.5 m and that for a
truck is 3.75× 7.5 m.
 Off street parking
 Off street parking means vehicles are parked off the street
itself. This will be usually controlled by commercial agencies
itself.


 Parallel parking
The vehicles are parked along the length of the road. Here there
is no backward movement involved while parking or UN parking
the vehicle. Hence, it is the safest parking from the accident
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

25
perspective. However, it consumes the maximum curb length and therefore only a
minimum number of vehicles can be parked for a given kerbed length. This method of
parking produces least obstruction to the on-going track on the road since least road width
is used.
 30 degree parking
In thirty degree parking, the vehicles are parked at 30 with respect to the round alignment.
In this case, more vehicles can be parked compared to parallel parking. Also there is
better manoeuvre-ability. Delay caused to the track is also minimum in this type of parking.
 As the angle of parking increases, more number of vehicles can be parked. Hence
compared to parallel parking and thirty degree parking, more number of vehicles can be
accommodated in this type of parking.
 The vehicles are parked at 60 to the direction of road. More number of vehicles can be
accommodated in this parking type.
 Right angle parking
In right angle parking or 90parking, the vehicles are parked perpendicular to the direction
of the road. Although it consumes maximum width kerbed length required is very little. In
this type of parking, the vehicles need complex manoeuvring and this may cause severe
accidents. This arrangement causes obstruction to the road track particularly if the road
width is less. However, it can accommodate maximum number of vehicles for a given
kerbed length.
 Multiple Level Car Parking
It is a building (or part there hereof) which is designed specifically to be for Automobile
Parking and where there are a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.

 Is essentially a Stacked Car Park
 “Multilevel Car Park” – Term Originated in UK, in US it is called a “Parking Structure”
Types
 Manually operated (non mechanized-with ramps)
 Mechanized (Classified in different type based on technology)
 Mini
 Puzzle
 Tower
 In order to accommodate the large volume of vehicles, small cities and towns must
develop their infrastructure. One solution may be a multi-level car parking system to
maximize car parking capacity by utilizing vertical space, rather than expand horizontally.
With land in metros and ‘a’ grade cities becoming scarce and dearer, and plots getting
smaller, conventional parking is proving infeasible.
 Salient Features
 Dynamic peak hour management to configure the system in line with the demand pattern.
Intelligent buffering system offering zero wait time for the public.
 Flexible, scalable and modular design to accommodate wide range of layout and
capacities and offers seamless capacity addition.
 Simple design by the way of electrical push pulls mechanism with direct drives.
 Use of electrical drives to optimize power consumption.
 Intelligent emergency management system via. Manual override option.
 Advantages
 Space effective – space savings upwards of 70 percent.
 Freeing the space at ground level for better commercial use.
 Reduced total cost of ownership.
 Environmental friendly as ramps are avoided.
 Higher throughput and faster operations (capability to handle 40 to 60 cars an hour)
 Advance Studies
 Relevance Of Electives
 Land and interior design were the two areas of advanced studies chosen by the author.
 Landscape
 A club building is very different from other buildings in the sense that it does not offer any
functional service in the prevalent sense of the word. What it offers instead is a sense of
joy fitness and wellbeing. One has to plan experience and expectations while planning a
club building. While planning the user psychological state. One cannot stop with a small
area called the built mass that is the building, for it consists only a part of the whole
experience of the user. The planning has then to be extended to the whole site area.
 Further Indian climate is suitable for outdoor planning. The club has more attendance
during evenings and members have a tendency to enjoy outdoor surroundings. That is
why has given specific stress in landscape detailing and tried to integrate it with the built
mass as far as possible.
 Interior Design
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

27
 The reason for choosing interior design as a topic of advanced studies arise from the
same philosophy that only provision of any facility is not sufficient while planning a club
building. What is more important instead of what type of atmosphere that activity and the
area assigned to it produces.
 Though the placement of various areas had already explorer this aspect of visual
connection between two areas nevertheless while designing the interior, aesthetical
considerations were sole deciding factors sometimes.
 Overall Finding And Proposals
 Interior of Restaurant
 The following guidelines are followed to make environment of restaurant make delightful
and purposeful:
 Every table gives a close view of either dancing flour or outside surroundings.
 French window increases the visual area and brings nature more closely.
 Artificial and natural plants are given in the restaurant to create the inter-penetration of
nature inside the hall.
 To create a royal impression of restaurant by providing innovative artistic features, color,
texture and lighting.
 Lighting- there is dim light in the restaurant living area to reduce the harshness of features
and it should be orange brown tone.
 The food served should look delectable, fortunately most food item fall in orange brown
category and so look fine under the dim brown lights meant for people.
 Contrast color is used insight the restaurant to create dramatic effect.
 Smooth texture is used by large size of glazed opening and plain plastering with
combination of cool and hot colors.
 Landscaping Of Children’s Playground
 All equipment should contribute to the healthy growth and recreational enjoyment of the
child, so that he learns to coordinate, cooperate, compete, create, enjoy and acquire
confidence, playing equipment should-
 Develop strength ability, coordination, balance and courage.
 Stimulate the child to learn social skills of sharing and playing with others and to compete
in a spirit of fair play.
 Encourage each child to be creative and have play experience which are meaningful to
him.
 Assist the child in making the transition from playsuit to playground.
 Site Boundary Planning
 Site boundary planting can soften the visual impact of the large stadium development on
its environment, making the building seem smaller and perhaps less gaunt. Radial access
routes can help them find their way and once they are inside and walking towards the
stadium, rows of tall trees can similarly help them in.
 Land Cost
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

28
 Land cost must be kept to the minimum and this is why sports facilities are frequently built
on low grade land, such refused tips or reclaimed land that is to poor for residential or
industrial use but which may then lead to additional structure cost
 Local or regional planning legislature must be checked to ensure that the proposed
development will be allow in that area
 METHODOLOGY
 First – Data from literature regarding behavioral aspect of the buildings was collected. This
data was synthesized to select the aspects which could govern inter-relationship of
various activities in a club building.
 Case studies were analyzed in the light of behavioral ‘aspects’, by means of observation
and users survey.
 Inferences were drawn from the case-studies about behavioral pattern of users and their
expectations from the space were analyzed. Such inferences were used to chalk-out
‘requirements’ which incorporated behavioral aspects along with functional aspects.
 Various techniques were explored from literature for producing the desired psychology
effect in a space.
 Climatological data were gathered and analyzed

 Observation
 The facade of the building is clad in blend of Aluminum Composite Panels, Glass and
UPVC Louvers which are intentionally designed to make the building look lighter and
sleeker due to limited available foreground. The concentric rings fabricated in ACP are
aesthetically set within UPVC louvered background. These louvers creatively hide the
plumbing and ventilation services from the front of the building. An ornamental staircase
winding within a glass enclosure on the lower corner of the main entrance beautifully
balances the heavy metal mass above and provides the necessary ventilation for the toilet
shafts. Although the contemporary design stands out in complete contract to the art deco
buildings in the surrounding area, it places beautifully as a foreground to the modern mass
of Wankhede Stadium, which was recently renovated as part of the complex. The roof
canopy not only hides the structural support for the guided rail system for facade
maintenance but also acts as a wind barrier for the tennis court.
 As one walks into the club side of the building, one enters an imposing double height
atrium space which is adorned with a flowing mural, cast in fiber reinforce plastic. The
petals of this mural envelope the entire wall which balance the attention from the shiny
three brass clad elevators on one end of the building to the sunken cafeteria overlooking
the swimming pool on the other side. Overlooking this area on the first floor is the multi-

Observation
It is difficult to miss the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Indoor Stadium, an imposing glass and
aluminum clad structure, as one passes the Haji Ali in Worli. The stadium was designed
by us to have a 90 mts diameter column less indoor arena surrounded by 16 individual
halls which act as ancillary support spaces to this arena. Two of these 16 halls are
converted into a sprawling unisex gymnasium, health club and a salon encompassing
almost 28,000 sq.ft. Equipment’s and mirror paneling are strategically placed within the
gymnasium to provide cardiovascular, strength and weight training to the gym users. A

class facilities including the one exclusive for
Mumbai Cricket Association i.e. Indoor Cricket Academy. All spread over land of about 14
acres, covering total construction area of about 90,000 Sq.ft having separate exclusive

Observation
 The sports facilities at the MCA Indoor Cricket Academy and Recreation Centre are
outstanding, probably among the best available in India today. I want to start playing
badminton all over again when I see the stunning courts, the likes of which I’ve only seen in
international tournaments on television. There are two billiard tables, squash courts, a 3,000
sq.ft gym complete with 12 treadmills, Eco Flex flooring and Techno gym equipment. There’s
a half Olympic size pool (and another smaller pool, though buildings overlook both pools and
you can forget about privacy); and a card room with a great view of the cricket stadium where
a Bombay University practice match is on currently. The Mumbai vs Hyderabad Ranji Trophy
match was held here last November. The full-length toughened glass windows at the bar,
which shares the same view of the stadium as the card room, were imported from Istanbul and
have already been tested by Mohammad Kaif, whose ball apparently hit the glass with zero
impact.

San Wayao Recreation club / CSWADI
 Architects - CSWADI
 Location - Jin Gui Lu, Wuhou Qu, Chengdu Shi, Sichuan Sheng, China
 Architect in Charge - Liu YiDesign
 Area - 11936.0 sqm
 Project Year – 2015
 Introduction
 From the architect. Located in DongYuan residential district of Chengdu, the site of
SanWaYao community sports facilities is surrounded with aged housing, intensive high-
rise residential buildings which were built recently and a primary school. Challenging the
limited site and building area, designers created an energetic public space in community,
offering numerous kinds of sports facilities for people living around including swimming
pool, fitness center, tennis court, basketball court, squash court, ping pong table, billiards
table, gate ball court, outdoor fitness center , playground for kids and so on.
 With the aim of producing a friendly sports space, the concept is to make the building and
site integrated. Creating a sloping shape of the building by “extruding” and connecting the
sports ground on the east with walkable sloping roof lead to a stronger space perception
of the building as a public facility.
 Continuous sloping roof is an open public space with big steps acting as a walking route
and bleachers for the east sports ground in the same time. Moreover, lawn roof provides
spaces for grass skating, yoga, picnic and more for the community without charging a
fee. People could walk slowly up to roof deck on 4th floor along the slope and down
through a cantilevered stairway on the north. These form a round route in an “artificial hill”
bringing the pleasure of climbing a real mountain into the crowded city town.
 Multi-function arena on the lawn slope is a pure semitransparent space made of U-shaped
glass. It provides tender interior light suitable for various kinds of ball games, group
calisthenics, and parties. In the corner of the arena, batter posts replace upright posts in
structure which makes the building a floating glow box as a unique sight in community.
