Architecture studios BDP<\/a>, Cox Architecture<\/a> and Collage Design have revealed designs for a trio of sports venues in Ahmedabad<\/a>, India, which will be built alongside the world’s largest stadium<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, the complex will include a tennis venue, aquatics centre and indoor arena near the 132,000-seat Narendra Modi Stadium \u2013 a cricket ground that opened in 2020 and is the largest stadium in the world.<\/p>\n

Situated along the Sabarmati River, the masterplan was designed by BDP<\/a>, Cox Architecture<\/a> and Collage Design<\/a> as a city park and sports district ahead of Ahmedabad hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games<\/a> and the wider Gujarat state hosting the 2029 World Police and Fire Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new venues at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, which will be decorated with features that draw upon traditional Indian architecture, will be designed so that they can be used by local residents outside of major sports tournaments.<\/p>\n

“Our vision for the Sports Enclave is to create an inclusive, sustainable and distinctly Indian destination for world sport,” said BDP India head Manisha Bhartia.<\/p>\n

“By drawing on Ahmedabad’s architectural traditions and blending them with cutting-edge design and technology, we are designing beyond single-use, sporting venues that decay over time,” she continued. “We are shaping new, visually beautiful places that will host the world’s greatest sporting moments, but also remain an active, vibrant part of the city’s everyday life for decades to come.”<\/p>\n

\"Tennis

A tennis centre will be built on the eastern side of the Narendra Modi Stadium. It will include a 10,000-seat centre court, two show courts with capacities of 5,000 and 3,000 seats, and additional outdoor courts.<\/p>\n

The centre court will have a circular shape with a raised fabric roof designed for shading and natural ventilation.<\/p>\n

At the eastern end of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave will be an 18,000-seat indoor arena, which will host gymnastics and basketball events at the Commonwealth Games. After the games it will be used for concerts and other sports events.<\/p>\n

The exterior will be clad in bronze anodised aluminium jali \u2013 a perforated screen with ornamental patterns found in traditional Indian architecture<\/p>\n
