Sports hall is placed into
surrounding space onto a platform as an autonomous volume
at the junction of various programmes and geometries. Due
to its floor-plan size and its connection to the principal
public areas, the pedestal is converted from a building to
part of the urban landscape. The wooden plinth's floor plan
corresponds with surrounding urban activity, it is transformed
into a volume with a grove of "sailboat" masts rising from
the platform. They provide the composition with a firm frame
into which the soft volume of the hall is inserted. Auditorium
volume merges the energy of all visitors, what is important
is the game and the people following it. The soft volume of
the hall is supplemented by the lower level of roof construction
with a parabolic raster of discs - sound reflectors, light
and sound carriers.
