This practicum intends to improve the landscape surrounding the Investors Group Field stadium at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It addresses the site’s current challenges, the proposed changes to the neighboring infrastructure, and how these improvements are better-suited to the daily lives of fans, residents, and University of Manitoba students. The design proposal further aims at creating a more welcoming and enjoyable experience for visitors first arriving at the stadium. Moreover, it shows how fans, residents, and University of Manitoba students would benefit from the interrelationship between Investors Group Field, University of Manitoba, and a changing new neighboring infrastructure — a “win-win” situation entitled Doppelpass (“one-two pass”). / May 2016

REPURPOSING ABANDONED SPORT VENUES-FERENC PUSKAS, THE PEOPLE’S STADIUM People do not often think of what happens to the new venues built specifically for the World Cup or the Olympics. In a lot of cases the stadiums and infrastructures are not utilized afterwards because the activity they were designed for is not popular and not practiced in the area where they are built at. As, a result, a wide chunk of these structures end up abandoned after the end of the events influencing also their nearby areas. One of these cases is the Ferenc Puskas stadium in Budapest, built for the Olympic Games which were stopped because WWI. By applying new stadiums concepts and technology the new arena wants to reactivate the abandoned area and be active 24/7 by having a mixture of sports activities, private and public spaces withih its old, already existing structure. / Återanvända nedlagda idrottsanläggningar - Ferenc Puskás , Folk Stadium Det människor inte ofta tänker på är vad som händer med de nya arenor som byggts speciellt för VM eller OS . I många fall utnyttjas inte arenor och infrastruktur i efterhand på grund av att den verksamhet som de var avsedda för inte är populär och inte praktiseras i det område där de är byggda på . Såsom , ett resultat , en stor del av dessa strukturer hamnar övergivna efter utgången av de händelser och påverkar dessutom deras närliggande områden. Ett av dessa fall är Ferenc Puskás-stadion i Budapest , som byggdes för de olympiska spelen som stoppades på grund av första världskriget. Genom att tillämpa nya arenor begrepp och teknik den nya arenan vill återaktivera det övergivna området och vara aktiv 24/7 genom att ha en blandning av sportaktiviteter , privata och offentliga utrymmen i sin gamla , redan befintlig struktur .​

Resisting external forces can be a source of beauty. This work represents an effort to understand how architecture can be derived from the struggle against natural forces to create a built-form. Starting with an idea, that of a tensile roof, the design of a soccer stadium developed into what is presented here. / Master of Architecture

It is unmistakable that sport is a universally vital element in our society today. Sport teaches us teamwork, sportsmanship, and provides a stage to compete instead of fight. Sport has been known to end civil wars and bring peace when all hope is lost. Sport has been called the world's first global culture. It has been said that where the crowds gather, history is made. With stadiums providing a stage for over 100,000 people at one time, it is easy to associate a stadium with this thought. Since the function that stadiums hold is so important to us as people, shouldn't our stadiums reflect the importance of the function they represent? / Master of Architecture

The aim of the project is to focus on the future development of an underused urban space of Ponava, to enhance its qualities and to find suitable programme according to general principles of sustainable development. In todays´less favorable economical situation I´m trying to propose interventions, that do not start ´tabula rasa´ and destroy what has been abandoned in time(the stadium), rather they add new layers on it and combine different kinds of social groups in a specific public place.

Expansive parking lots, miles of asphalt, and traffic jams: this is what the modern sport stadia has come to represent. Does it have to be this way? What does the future of sports stadia hold? Can we build a stadium that is better integrated to the community around it? The stadium must become a major urban element again and it must engage the urban context. D.C. United, the most storied franchise in MLS history, needs a new home. Baltimore and other locations in Maryland would gladly welcome the Black-and-Red, but it is vital for them to remain within Washington, D.C. in a soccer specific stadium. An area of land on Buzzard Point has already been chosen for the future development of a new soccer specific stadium and is now waiting for city council approval. This thesis aims to explore a new type of urban stadium and a new stadium type as a bicycle destination at Buzzard Point. To explore a new type of urban stadium, it is vital to investigate the site's present features as well as investigate the projected future infrastructure development and real estate growth on the site. These future developments must remain throughout the design process because they will one day make up the stadium's urban context. / Master of Architecture

NEW FOOTBALL STADIUM FOR BRNO Have to be stadium inert, ingrown arena, which turns on its back to its context? The first idea of the concept was inspired by the impressions from the exhibition of Dutch photographer Hans van Meer. Common to all of his football photographs are sceneries of country-side or cities that serve as a background for amateur football matches. Football played in the open air just for the joy from the game and in the presence of astonishing scene appears almost poetic. Is it possible to transfer at least partly such poetic into a football stadium? Locality near to Lužánky is outstanding exactly because of its context. It is placed next to the center of Brno with possibility of the view at the panoramas of Petrov and castle Veveří. The idea to connect the fans´ impression of a game with genius loci of the city, where the match takes place, strongly influenced the conceptual solution to the stadium. It enables fans to watch football game not only in the atmosphere of the simmering stadium, but also with a dash of poetic of the far-away view. The concept is based on four minimalistic desks of the tribunes clamped into the pace of the adjoining functions of the stadium. The tribunes are interconnected through rope frame, which roofs the tribunes and simultaneously co-functions as a single construction unit. This concept resulted in a complex solution to the construction from concrete, steel – compression and tension members that would enable practical implementation of this idea.
