ABOUT THIS PROJECT -
This project look badly dramatic
forms. Main two stadiums are there and linkage is through the immense ranked promenade. Both the buildings develop from the circle and ellipse in plan and section. Major stadium - Plan is in the form of two semi circles. Main principle is of suspension bridges. Entrance is from concave side. Roof is supported of two super pylons. Main criteria behind curved roof is to resist wind. Structure- Structure is carried by two main cables which span 126m between two main super pylons. Cables are laid parallel to this side span and spaced apart at an interval of 2.58m . But internally widens up to 16.8m . For central span top provided space for sky light. Steel cable – 13” in size. Stiffening truss is used fairly to avoid displacement of suspension cable caused by lateral winds . Minor stadium - This stadium is situated to the south west of major stadium. Connecting to the major by a way of series of underground and ground level facility. Form is based on a circle . Skin which roofs the building is suspended from and eccentric mast. The roof is slung on long cable from the outside it sweeps up to fueled ir rolled up round a central protruding rod.
