 A. INTRODUCTION
The projects present here is the multipurposed sports hub. it will be design as a
multipurpose sports complex and/or city it is going to host local, national and intentional
level competitions. And also training centers for that sport too. Activities in these sport
complex educate people towards the way different sports are play globally. A Multipurpose
sports hub is a group of multi-sport facilities such as indoor sports and outdoor sports. It will
consist of a number of sporting facilities involving number of sports, which suits the nation at
a national level keeping in mind the national and intentional standards, and norms regarding
each sport.
This report will address the issue of sustainability in various aspects as follows

B. RESPONSE TO LOCAL AND REGIONAL CONTEXT

As site is in badlapur and badlapur is surrounded by mountains. Mountain can use for
seating instead of seating stands by treating the contours in appropriate manner.

C. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The staging of professional sporting events and the large amount of money that is
generated by them and the large numbers of fans which they engage means that there is the
capacity to innovate. This has resulted in a series of small and large significant design
modifications and sustainable practices by arenas.
Venue Greening, which is exploring ways to design the construction and maintenance
of the facilities to be smarter and have less environmental impact, will become integral to all
architecture and can be applied most interestingly in the arena of sports stadiums and playing
fields. Recycled food waste, for example, was used to build the Glasgow Commonwealth

Games Stadium, which is a building practice from green building techniques that will become
more common in the future for all kinds of buildings as it is also cost-effective.
The Football World Cup (2014) made a strong clean-energy statement as it was
played in a stadium built specifically for the event that was powered by solar energy and also
generated and sent excess energy into households in Brazil. Along with this infrastructure
commitment by the host nation there was a turnkey approach undertaken where other
schemes were put into place to engage Brazil’s stakeholders to act collectively and ensure
that FIFA 2014 was a low-carbon event.
Along with clean energy generation, the idea of architecturally rethinking the value of
big structures altogether and optimizing the expense and scale needed for a large stadium
structure is to turn it into a resource for rainwater harvesting. Two examples of this are the
bio frame roof of the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium and, in a no less fascinating iteration of
the concept, PITCH Africa’s Water bank in Kenya. In both cases these large structures aid in
the harvest and storage of potable water in use in the region.
And finally, a small, significant adjustment but no less exciting, has been made to
keep American football sustainable. The San Francisco 49ers in their new Levis Stadium
where the use of a type of sturdy grass called Bermuda Bandera that is naturally greener,
needs less replanting, and uses 50% less water than regular grass means that over time the
overall water footprint at this stadium will be far less than if another grass was used.

D. BIOMIMICRY PRINCIPAL
Architecture has always been tied with nature and regarded it as a source of
inspiration for years. It has also been a muse for the creation of several philosophies and
movements that have characterized design. Biomimicry is one such ideology that has helped
mold and contribute structures, principles, and forms to the built environment. Biomimicry is
a method of solving human challenges by learning and imitating the strategies in nature. It
views nature as a measure, a mentor, and a model. In architecture, biomimicry is often used
to seek sustainable measures by understanding the principles governing the form rather than
replicating the mere form itself. It applies to several aspects of the architectural and
engineering field in terms of materials, structural systems, design, and much more. The
mimicry can be seen at three levels i.e. at that of the organism, its behavior, and the
ecosystem.
There are two examples given below which can use in proposed stadium and/or arena
at Badlapur.
The Beijing National Stadium, popularly known as the bird’s nest, was designed by
Swiss Architects Herzog & de Meuron in 2008 for the Olympics. As the name implies, the
structure rises from its surroundings like an upturned nest. The stadium comprises two
structures, the concrete seating bowl, and the outer steel frame, that represents the twigs of
the nest from the stadium. Similar to how a nest is insulated by stuffing material between the
twigs, the façade is filled with ETFE (Ethyl tetrafluoroethylene) panels to protect spectators,

sunlight

The National Aquatic Center, also known as a water cube, was another spectacular
project created to host the 2008 Olympics. The structure was inspired by cells and the natural
formation of soap bubbles. The unique geometry of the bubbles was used repetitively to build
a structure that appeared organic and random. The continuous skin of the structure was
created with ETFE (Ethyl tetrafluoroethylene) due to its lightweight and great insulation. The
cladding allows the entry of more light as compared to glass and even traps 20% of solar
energy, which is used to heat the pools.

E. RESPECT FOR PEOPLE/USERS AND/OR FUTURE
GENERATION
The stadium’s interior and grounds are designed to ensure the comfort of its users. The
visual comfort of the stadium’s users is ensured by access to daylight in the working
areas. The building’s public areas are also made of glass structures; this solution makes it
possible to reduce the electricity consumption in the daytime.
The users of the stadium can independently set the temperature according to their needs.
Fan-coil units and radiators ensure thermal comfort. The radiators are fitted with
thermostatic valves, and fan-coil units control air supply and temperature locally through
control panels.

F. RESPONSE TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL

FACTORS STEWARDSHIP
Community impact and economic impact are two sides of the same coin. Better
sports infrastructure and construction of stadiums lead to increased business for local
shops in the area, employment, and income for construction workers and skilled
labourers, income for hotels and restaurants, and increased revenue for stadiums and
teams as updated facilities and expanded capacity bring in more ticket sales. In addition,
the economic costs of health care may also be reduced as more people utilise these
facilities and lead a healthier life. The construction or redevelopment of stadiums and
sporting facilities opens huge opportunities for revitalising the surrounding local
economy.
Many new stadiums are built with their tourism potential in mind and are
therefore designed to be architecturally impressive. The Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing is
known for its unusual facade, with China reporting more than 30 million visitors since its
opening in 2008. These visitors bring income to the region as they spend on travel, food,
and lodging in addition to ticket sales for stadium tours. In 2015, the BBC reported that
over 800,000 overseas football fans visited Britain, bringing in GBP 684 million in
spends. The Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium in Tottenham is expected to create 3,500
jobs and lead to spending worth GBP 166 million GBP in the local economy each year.
Keeping the community impact in mind, the project roped in businesses to operate in and
around the new stadium, thus creating additional jobs and apprenticeships.
