THE MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTS STADIUM William Mcguire Student ID: 1450103 THE MULTI-PURPOSE SPORTS STADIUM William McGuire Student ID: 1450103 Master Thesis Explanatory Document Principal Supervisor - Chris Murphy Associate Supervisor - Cesar Wagner An explanatory document submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture (Professional). Unitec Institute of Technology, New Zealand 2019. Word Count: 20,810 ABSTRACT Auckland City is at a point in 2019, where our stadium landscape is failing to meet the requirements and expectations, which are necessary for the current-day user. Eden Park is struggling to support music events without significant pushback from local community groups. Mount Smart, originally built for athletics, is now in line for serious upgrades and earthquake strengthening of its grandstands. The requirements and expectations within and around a stadium have changed since these complexes were built. They are no longer just concrete structures but now should be an entertainment and social hub for players and spectators. With all the different sporting codes having new requirements to meet fans expectations, which their current outdated stadiums cannot supply. Why not look at one new multi-purpose arena, to suit them all? Several architects, urban theorists and authors all came up with different opinions or perspectives on how a single venue environment can be both successful and practical to all users. Richard Cleary investigated the setting in the eyes of the performers; the architects on the field, who create spaces through manipulation skills in deceiving the opposition to create chances. Shenna McKenzie looked at the setting in the eyes of the spectators, who creates the idea of sport being a type of religion. Where the stadium acts as a cathedral, where people from afar gather to worship. Carles Broto studied how users can imagine different uses for a stadium, rather than solely for sports. Martin Wimmer researched the idea of what a stadium means to modern society, through the environment surrounding the space. So, in what way can architecture enhance the pre, to post-game experience, in a multi-purpose sports stadium and social hub setting, through spatial movement? The process would be to go through a site analysis exercise to find the perfect location, based on several critical factors, for the stadium and surrounding environment. Once a site has been located, Camillo Sitte’s urban planning and architectural principles on enclosure, irregularity and perspectives will be applied to develop a master plan. Together, these theories will also look at the framework and requirements for the stadium and the performance, on how spectators interact with the spaces and to gain an experience of what a player might feel.

For the time and support, you have put into my studies, even though working full time, as you grow in your own architectural career. To that, I can only say thank you; I will be forever grateful and continue to use the skills you have taught me. To Harry Street for his in-depth knowledge base in stadium design and for your continuous feedback, passion and interest in this project. To the rest of the GHD Woodhead Creative Spaces team, for their understanding and patience when I took the time to focus on my studies at university. To Chris Murphy and Cesar Wagner for their personal time and effort in understanding my process throughout the year in the number of presentations. To the lecturers and tutors at Unitec, that have thrown their ideas and general support into this final project. To the friends I have made over the past five years while studying, it has been a journey. During the ups and downs, the stress and the laughs, we have managed to push through and come out the other side. Thank you for making this whole experience an enjoyable one. Finally, my family, for their support during the last five years of my studies. The efforts they have put in, not only as my proof-readers but also as moral support. From nearby or afar, they have always asked for updates and provided general encouragement. 7 INTRODUCTION FIG. 1: EDEN PARK. (IMAGE BY MORNING REPORT.)

As well as gaining a better understanding of formal and informal groups involved in community decision-making, they can come to appreciate that within and between groups there can be a wide range of perspectives and ways in which individual and group voices can raise and resolve their concerns. They will also gain an understanding of what individual, community and national confl ict resolution strategies and channels are available. It is hoped that this understanding will encourage students to engage in wider school and community decision-making.
