DESIGN IDEA
To achieve a sense of closeness between players and spectators during the game is the central idea of our
design for this stadium. To achieve unity and oneness in the architecture and structure in-spite of the
many functional divisions and variations in the spatial quality of spaces within the stadium has been our
objective too. An innate aesthetic quality of spaces has been achieved through the use of distinct colours,
seen and experienced inside and outside from the field.

Attention has also been paid to provide interesting experiences in all the spaces- in- transition, the many
entrances, accesses, avenues and passages, through distinct lighting, colours and flooring.

Seven entrance gates, twenty staircases, eighteen lifts, and thirty-five emergency exits, ensures faster
movement and high standard of safety.

The 25metre cantilevered roof is the most interesting feature of the proposed stadium. It completely
opens up the stands as no pillars or supports come in the way of the spectators view.

It has been a daunting but enjoyable task. The execution of the stadium right from its foundation
including piling and large basements has been built in a period of just 19 months.
