About

The design confronts the intensity of dense urban life by establishing a measured dialogue between work and play, recognizing the intertwined mental and physical demands of contemporary city living. It integrates a professional workplace with a sporting complex, forming a civic environment that extends beyond office users to the surrounding community. This synthesis cultivates culture, connection, and social engagement, positioning the building as a catalyst for communal growth and interaction.

Arranged in deliberate clusters, the layout encourages collaboration and fluid circulation within the workplace while maintaining accessibility and clarity for athletes and visitors. Each cluster accommodates varied scales of activity, from focused individual work to large sporting events, producing a flexible and multi-functional environment. The spatial organization responds to the rhythm of movement and social exchange, balancing intimacy with the expansiveness of urban engagement.

The architectural conception emerges from a detailed analysis of soccer field conditions, examining geometry, play patterns, and layered activity to generate adaptive spatial configurations that merge with the building fabric. Through this methodology, the structure becomes simultaneously a functional workspace and an experiential landscape, where movement, strategy, and interaction inform spatial character. The design embodies interconnectivity, adaptability, and vitality, weaving the dynamics of sport, work, and community into a coherent urban presence.

This project explores the analysis of player structure and process-based design through game analytics and statistical data visualization. By examining gameplay data, we generated graphs and designs that ultimately formed the blueprint for the building's architectural design.

Each component was built cohesively, with design chunks proportionally scaled to individual player roles and statistics in conjunction with their respective data profiles. The spatial arrangement of rooms is guided by the data fields generated from player activity, which are then contrasted with vector fields to inform the overall design language. This approach culminates in a spiral design motif that unifies the architecture throughout the building.
