I.M Vijayan stadium
This multipurpose indoor stadium is a part of the sports complex proposed at laloor,Thrissur.Apart from the stadium the project also includes a synthetic football stadium,astro turf hockey stadium,two tennis courts,a swimming pool ,training hostels & administration blocks.The sports council was particular in bringing up the building in a vernacular style.
Design approach: The proposed site is that category of land which the society considered to be a waste dumping area for years. The project was aimed at clearing this wasteland & utilisi- ng it for revenue generation thereby enhancing the sports sector of the district.The project is initiated by the by the directorate of sports and youth affairs,kerala.Thus clearing of these ‘years of wastes’ creates a level difference in the land which is utilised completly in the design.
The main design principle was to bring about a100% space utilised building.Thus the proposal was made for an iindoor stadium with a convention centre beneath it and the space below the galleries are used as commercial spaces.The convention centre is at the basement floor withan exclusive entry from the east side of the plot followed by the indoor stadium above it with an entry from the west such that the crowd is always separated.
