Proposal comprises a complex
which would unite administrative functions, education and
training of young talents in training halls, housing, education
and exhibition center and a main sports hall, all in one location.
Eight outdoor basketball courts are arranged, with ample green
areas and parking areas for users and visitors. Location of
the complex is not yet determined; therefore the concept arranges
programs in an abstract environment. Choosing the site, the
priority will be a central location near Slovenian motorway
network and the best possible integration into surrounding
urban environment. Programs are combined in such a way that
they form their own urban environments and thus the identity
of spatial expression; all programs are addressing a central
square. Presence of expression in surrounding urban environment
begins with a series of external basketball courts next to
the main access road. The dynamics of the game would thus
be close to the street and close to urban environment, enabling
the complex to exchange vibes with it. Along the exterior
courts on the inner side, all programs are connected via a
Players Alley, descending as stairs towards the courts as
stands to watch the game or just lounge in nice weather. In
the middle of the Alley, the space opens into the central
square, determined by the volume of the administrative building
with the training halls in the background. The other side
of the square is bordered by an accommodation program with
fitness exercise halls and a central reception for the Campus.
The third side of the square is defined by the main Sports
Hall and educational/exhibition/conference facility, which
is placed in the square itself as a pavilion. The composition
of the market clarifies the program of the complex, the movement
of visitors becomes spontaneous, orientations are clear. From
behind, complex is enveloped by a green belt, into which the
accommodation facility is oriented. The park at the back side
creates a buffer from the path behind, sedates the composition
and allows for a more spontaneous integration into urban tissue
of potential locations.
