DESIGN CONCEPT decomposed bunching algorithm

The stadium in the past had an ephemeral functionality. Our initial ques-tion inlights of this fact, is how to make a stadium less about the initial function and more to do with engageing and maintaining a constant comunal atmosphere where a facet of activities can be housed.

This idea seeks to erase the concept of a stadium as a place not just for leasure but as a place for leaving, leasure, bussiness, etc. .

Now the new question is how does the sta-dium function within this realm and main-tains its identity?

strategy:

Transforming interest levels into mathematical data, we made conscious asumptions around a programatic platform, then coded our results into specific inten-sities. These then were able to influence and affect a grid blanketing the site. This fields of lines was then used as a formal technique to articulate the olympic park, the shell and the inner organisation.

The defining algorthim for this surface con-dition was derived from the spatial diagram seeing it as a gravitational element .the idea of creating a double surface, a duplicate of the initially derived surface to house and support the supporting functions in the stadium.
