Parkour Park Sport Center

Project idea

We have two main elements that affect our project. One is the concept of social sustainability. People have different ways of thinking, different colors. And these differences are constantly in a state of communication and interaction. Accordingly, in the project we will create, we aim to positively impact social sustainability by creating spaces that can address all types and all age groups. Second, the geographical location of our project area is another element that affects the project. Our land environment consists of two independent areas. It's a hilly, packed area with buildings and a huge gap on the seashore... There is a busy street separating these two areas. Our goal is to create a dynamic space that will connect these two elements and attract people in the hills and people in the void to it.

Project description

Our project consists of three main masses. The first is the parkour for cyclists. The parqour is also in contact with the hills and the Sports Complex on the coast. At the same time, it provides integrity with our sports center by entering the project area and Mass in some areas. Our second element is our platform system. This part forms the integrity between the parkour and the masses. Holes were drilled on the Platform and natural ventilation and lighting were provided for the spaces. This area has relaxation sections, a navigational area created by a sloping Yesil roof, a floating fountain area for children and an entrance to the rhythmic gymnastics stands. Finally, the other main part of our project is the masses. There are four masses. Three of these (fitness Hall, rhythmic gym and Rehabilitation Center) are masses that require membership, and their entrances are connected by a corridor. Our fourth mass is the mass where the canteen and restaurant are located. And this mass can use by everyone. In addition, a small stage for street performers was created on the north side of the entrance elevation, and seating areas were created on the stairs for the audience. On the south side, there is a park and Trail area where children can have fun.

Technical information

In order to be more comfortable in terms of Use and to reflect the dynamic effect that will be achieved in the field, round forms have been studied. For large openings, truss system carriers were formed and steel system was used.
