The homogenous design of sports venues nowadays does not encourage the interaction of people occupying the space. It disregards the importance of human connectivity and the real purpose of being part of such an event. The question remains, how can form be informed by the behavior of people occupying it? By exploring and extracting data from the multidimensional layers that form human behaviors, a dynamic programming language is used to create informed morphologies. Hence, a catalogue of iterations is generated that will be evaluated according to the given parameters. This research is not only focused on creating a boundary free environment in the inside activity of the space, but also on blurring the line between the generated geometries and the surrounding area. Thus, a multidimensional landscape would start emerging and a reinterpretation of sports environments would be developed.
According to the grandmother of Performance Art MARINA ABRAMOVIC
“We are actually living in a million parallel realities every single minute”
Henri-Robert-Marcel Duchamp’s image portrayed above shows his parallel reality
“If a shadow is a two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional world, then the three-dimensional world as we know it is the projection of the four-dimensional Universe “Marcel Duchamp
The Parallel Reality according to me is a reality we face everyday by interacting with other people yet its invisible to the human eye . It consists of designing while understanding the importance of proximity,visual angle,sound and climate.
The homogeneous design of tennis stadiums today can be seen in the pictures above .
The space is designed disregarding the individual experience and the parallel reality surrounding everyone occupying the space.
It’s rather designed to maximize seating capacity and therefore the revenue instead of enhancing every individual experience.
A model of Stadium N by Luigi Moretti
Exhibited at the 1960 Architecture exhibition at the Twelfth Milan Triennial.
The stadium derives from a parametric model consisting of nineteen parameters

In the Urban context when the forms are put together like shown above ,
a multidimensional landscape would be achieved that is based on an infinite experience for everyone
occupying the space.The sports complex would then turn into a public space that could be used for
various experiences according to the crowd occupying it and the chosen activity.
