Rajpath Club Ahemdabad: Location Year Typology Program Status Area

The Rajpath Club Sports Arena in Ahmedabad, India is a 56,300 square foot competition entry to develop a sports facility above an existing parking structure from 2016. The design proposal uses an exoskeletal roof structure supported by tree-like columns to provide shade over a variety of indoor sports courts, a swimming pool, and eating area, while minimizing obstructions on the slab below. The roof form is meant to distinguish the new sports program visually from the parking structure below.

• The Rajpath Club Sports Arena is a
competition entry to develop the terrace
above a parking structure of the club.
• It had a huge program brief to
accommodate all types of sports like
badminton, squash, lawn tennis and
even football.
• A swimming pool and an eating area
were also a part of the brief.
• The design proposal bases itself on the
fact that a structure exists and one has to
build on top of that.
• The exoskeletal roof flows above the
parking providing sun shade with tree
columns providing support across long
spans.
• This gives less structural points on the
slab for activities to occur freely.
• The form of the roof means to show
itself as different from what it stands on,
hence showing the initiation of a new
program there.
