Architecture studio\u00a0Archohm<\/a> has unveiled The Shuttle\u00a0badminton<\/span> academy in Bhubaneswar, India<\/a>, which was designed to look like\u00a0a shuttlecock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located near Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, the venue was designed to draw attention to both the city and wider state of Odisha’s focus on badminton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Archohm<\/a> designed the badminton centre with a bowl-shape form that resembles the cork head of a shuttlecock, while at night a series of lights evoke the feathers.<\/p>\n

“The project aims to position the state of Odisha on the international badminton map to nurture world-class shuttlers,” said Archohm principal architect Sourabh Gupta.<\/p>\n

“The Shuttle, with its form, literally becomes the ideal representation of the vision of the city, of the state being the badminton capital,” he told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The idea was that the court shines every night like a beacon of hope, in the shape of a shuttle, with these rays on the rooftop when the public uses that space.”<\/p>\n

The academy was designed around a large, open hall that contains eight badminton courts overlooked by stepped seating.<\/span><\/p>\n

Described as a “black box” by the architect, this space was raised onto the third floor, with the rest of the academy’s facilities contained alongside it and in the base of the bowl and lit by skylights.<\/p>\n

According to Archohm, this arrangement, along with the regions heavy rainfall, partly determined the rounded form of the building.<\/p>\n

“The spherical outer shell has both practical and symbolic considerations,” said Gupta.<\/p>\n
