Introduction:

In Pakistan urban development was initially based on compact planning that created neighborhoods with mixed

land use, we find such kind of planning in wall city Lahore where every urban element has its own identity and

image which collectively reflects the image of the neighborhood or the community. With the ascent of automobiles

and the emergence of modern architecture people start looking beyond the walls of the city and the growth of

community starts towards the horizon, and they left the image or identity of the city within the walls of old Lahore.

Now as Architects we should try to reshape the community in its REAL sense to create a sense of place, belonging

and interactive community by introducing new urbanism in Lahore.

What is new urbanism?

A built environment which is diverse in use and population, scaled for the pedestrian, and

capable of accommodating the automobiles and mass transit.

New Urbanism

• Derived from traditional urbanism.

• Initially a reaction to sprawl.

• Now a base for sustainable urban

growth.

• And a basis for addressing physical

health and social well-being

• Mixed use of land

• Homes

• Workplaces

• Shops

• Restaurants

• Walkable Neighborhoods

• Rather than large single-use developments connected by streets hostile

to pedestrians

Cricket Stadium

Sports play an important role in society. It provides positive learning experience besides developing self confidence.

Sportsmanship and ability to work in team. Our youth is deprived of sports facilities and its result in the form of

aggression, increasing addiction, frustration etc. among youth is obvious. Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or

ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a

sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good

loser”.

Stadium Design:

The Stadium building itself should be a memorable landmark like

many of the architectural achievements of previous eras. Its

intention is, therefore, to create a unique venue to reflect its identity.

It will provide 30, 000 spectator capacity. As a state-of-the-art

facility, it will provide an inspirational venue for both players and

spectators alike. It will be capable of holding major national and

international sporting events while providing unsurpassed spectator

viewing facilities combined with comfort and safety.

Stadium Structure

The Stadium structure should create a sheltered seating bowl with the

required standard of spectator viewing and accommodation. To achieve this,

the structural engineering issues to be addressed include safety, stability,

serviceability and economy.

CASE STUDY

Emirates Stadium

HISTORY: Arsenal started looking to develop a larger stadium during the latter part of the 1990s, as their

existing ground at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419 when it became all-setter in 1993, which was lower

than the stadium capacities of almost every other European football club of comparable stature. There was

little room for expansion as the East Stand backed directly onto the pavement of a public road and the

other three backed onto housing; in addition the East Stand is a Grade II listed building. Local residents

had objected to any expansion of the stadium and the local council was not sympathetic.

The design of stadium:

It is the only stadium that is four tiered. The

lower tier is large and shallow, set well back

from the playing surface as a cinder track

surrounds the playing area. A small second

tier, which is called the Club tier, has seating,

but is only eight rows high. Inside it has a

number of lounges/restaurants, earning it the

nickname the 'prawn circle'. This Club tier

slightly overhangs the bottom tier.

The third tier is even smaller, being entirely

comprised of executive boxes, some 150 in total

and fits entirely under the large fourth tier.

This fourth tier, known as the upper tier, has

been designed in a semicircular fashion and is

topped by an impressive looking roof, that

includes a lot of visible white tubular steelwork

and Perspex panels to allow more light to get

to the pitch
