In search of the architectural and spatial form for the designed sports hall in Białystok, Studio EL, through their investigation of applied form typologies used in sports facilities, decided to use the coating system. This type of design is characterized by freshness, terseness and coherence in form and in contents of a function. The design consists of two-curvature, two-layered, steel space frames which will cover the space of the sports hall and will be based on the double buttresses located in its ambit. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Terrain of area A with acreage of approx. 5ha is the parcel for the designed sports hall. This parcel is located in south-eastern quoin of the terrains of area B which are covered by total elaboration of urban planning. Decisions made during the elaboration of spatial and functional conception for the whole terrain of area B were consistent with conception of parcel development of area A. In certain way a spatial projection of the hall and its location on the parcel of area A were the inspiration to design the pedestrian promenade concatenating quarters, and serving as a compositional axis of the whole urban system, to which embedded mass of the hall is its perspective finial, looking at it from east’s and west’s point of view.
