Velocity Works starts with a real football match. Not as inspiration. As data.

Every player tracked. Every position, every touch on the ball, every pass, every goal, every minute on the pitch recorded from full match footage and converted into datasets. All 22 players. Substitutes included. Each player became a graph, then a plot, then a point cloud sitting in three dimensional space.

Those point clouds were extrapolated from the flat surface of the field into three dimensional coordinates. The two teams were networked together, their data points connected to form a structural mesh. That mesh was given direction. Each team's data rotated, organised and sorted into spatial zones. Public. Private. Shared. The system decided where each zone sat, how large it was, and how it connected to everything around it.

Each player generated a room. The goalkeeper became the main retail storefront and back of house storage, the single fixed point the whole building organises around. The full backs became staff and facility spaces. The central midfielders became circulation, the connective tissue running through the building, because that is exactly what they are on a pitch. The striker became the full indoor football court at the centre of everything. The substitutes became athlete recovery and public training zones, present and functional, called upon when needed.

The surface came from the same place. Vector fields were built from the player position data, each line spaced according to where players actually stood and how they moved across the full match. The striated layered exterior you see is the field of play made physical. The building does not reference the game. It is the game, held in form and section.
