View Full Version : 2016 Olympic Tennis Complex Competition
cSaints July 17th, 2012, 02:14 AM COMPETITION HAS FINISHED! ENTRIES AND WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1542622)
DESIGN BRIEF
This morning, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) wrote to the seven potential host cities of the 2016 Summer Olympics to outline the requirements and guidelines of the tennis facilities for the games. As a highly regarded Tennis Arena designer, you have now been billed with the task of designing the tennis complex for one of the cities bidding to host the Olympic Games in order to support their bid. The following cities have bid to host the games; Rio de Janeiro, Chicago, Doha, Tokyo, Madrid, Prague, Baku.
GUIDELINES
The proposed tennis complex must be located within five miles (8km) of the city centre (the point marked A when you search the city's name on Google Maps), and include between 8 and 12 courts.
One court must have a capacity of between 7000 and 10000. There must be at least 250 VIP seats and 100 press seats.
Two courts must have a capacity of between 3000 and 5000. Each must have at least 100 VIP seats and 50 press seats. These courts can have identical designs, but do not have to.
The remaining 5-9 courts (depending on how many total courts you include in your design) should all have a capacity of approximately 500. They should have around 20 VIP seats and 10 press seats. These courts can have identical designs, but do not have to.
All courts must be all-seated with no 'safe-standing' area's.
All courts must be outdoor, as it is an outdoor competition. However retractable roofs may be used on one or more of the three main courts if the cities climate suggests there might be a need for it. Stands can have roofs, but do not have to.
Playing surfaces can be Grass, Clay or Hard-Court. However all courts must have the same playing surface.
There should be both indoor and outdoor area's for spectators, VIP, press and players to congregate (separately) between matches, possibly including restaurants, café's or shops.
There should be adequate parking for cars and buses/coaches.
The complex should fit together snugly but not too tightly. I.e. the walking distance between courts shouldn't be too long but there also must be enough room for the area's around the courts not to become too crowded during busy times.
COMPETITION
You are to take the role of the tennis arena designer and design a tennis complex in 3D in your chosen city (from the seven potential host cities), which meets the guidelines above. You should present your design in this thread before the deadline with a map showing the location of the complex within the city, a labelled birds-eye view of the complex as a whole, 1-3 shots of each of the 3 main courts, a couple of overview shots of the remaining courts, plus shots of any other facilities you wish to show. You should also provide a brief description of the complex and its facilities.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRIES IS THE 25TH AUGUST AT 23:00 BST
JUDGING
Note: This is subject to change without prior notice.
There will be 4 to 5 judges who will score each entry out of either 20 or 25 based on a number of categories to give a total score out of 100 for each entry. Judges will consider such things as the appearance and the functionality of the complex and its facilities, and how it fits with the city it is situated in, among other things.
There will be point deductions for not meeting specific guidelines within. These are as follows:
One Point Deduction for every 100 seats under the minimum capacities stated in the guidelines for arena capacity or for every 1000 points over the capacity limits stated in the guidelines.
One Point Deduction for every mile in which the complex is over the 5 mile away from city centre limit.
Five Point Deduction per court for being under the minimum of 8 courts.
There are no specific point deductions for failing to meet the remainder of the guidelines, but judges will no doubt consider these shortcomings when awarding their scores.
ADVICE
Use Google Maps to find a suitable location to build your tennis complex.
Consider existing Tennis complex's (particularly the Grand Slams and past Olympic complex's) when designing and laying out your complex.
Recommended Programs for Beginners: Google Sketchup (3D Design) and Kerkythea (Rendering). There are various tutorials on these forums and elsewhere on the net to get you started.
For general talk, advice, and showcasing of stadium and arena design, visit this thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=330977) (skip to last page for most recent conversation). Any discussion of previous/future competitions will also take place in this thread.
Leedsrule July 17th, 2012, 08:18 AM I know I didnt point th9is out earlier but 10k isnt particularly big for an olympic tennis final venue.
Anyway, np they are the rules. Ill start on this once ive finished my current stadium project, I doubt itll take me more than 2 or 3 weeks tbh.

I was thinking the same thing, more like 20k is more suitable for the main court and 5-10 for the sub courts. I think only Roland Garros has less than 15k.

Anyway, there is no points deduction for going over capacity so I might as well just do that if I have to.

DESIGN BRIEF
One Point Deduction for every 100 seats under or over the limits stated in the guidelines for arena capacity.
cSaints July 17th, 2012, 05:32 PM Beijing 2008 3 main courts: 10000, 4000, 2000.
Rio de Janeiro (actual design): 10000, 5000, 3000.
I think that's a good way to base the required capacity off.. Of course for London 2012 it will be bigger (15000, 11000, 4000) but that's due to Wimbledon already being built. The specified capacities were chosen baring in mind the capabilities of most people's computers. If I was allow someone to make 15000-20000 whereas someone else can only make a 7000, the person building the bigger stadium has more creative freedom which in my opinion gives an unfair advantage.

I think you could be more flexable with the capacities, as a country like spaon or czech republic do like their tennis so would fill a bigger stadium. It seems unfair to penalise those who want to build a bigger arena or bigger 2nd and 3rd courts. China and Brazil arent big on tennis, a country which is shouldnt be restricted to btween 7 and 10k or whatever.

I'm not sure the argument of China not being big on tennis holds up because they built a new 15000 seater court on the Olympic Complex a year after the Olympics for the China Open.. Not sure why they waited the extra year but hey ho.
I'll consider raising the 10000 slightly, but definitely not as high as the 20000 cruz_lion suggested

Ok, I think you should at least not peanalise people for an arena too BIG, is seems wierd to do something better than expected and get penalised for it.
Madrid built a new complex despite the bid not going through which holds 12,500 in the main arena. Even the current biggest stadium in Prague as far as i know holds 8,000 and that is only used for a fairly minor tournament.
hey guys im off the competition i cant hold much any advice???
Dosent make much sense. Are you off the competition? In which case i cant help you much. Or is it just you wont be on the competition because you cnat get a big enough stadium, in which case pick a country where there will not be a great demand for tennis tickets in the olympics such as Baku, Doha or even Tokyo or something. Also look up tutorials on google of how to use layers on sketchup, these will help you a lot.
cSaints July 17th, 2012, 11:26 PM Eurgh would people prefer it if I just said the guidelines are recommendations and not essential and then get rid of the point deductions and just have a normal poll at the end to decide the winner?
Then cruz_lion can build his complex wherever it is he wants it, and you can build yours the size of the eiffel tower :)

I dont care, I just think its pretty tight to deduct points for going over the capacity limit when you would never be penalised for a stadium too big for something like this in real life.
cSaints July 17th, 2012, 11:52 PM And in real life Prague aren't going to be designing a tennis complex for the olympics, when the olympics have already gone to rio de janeiro.....
cSaints July 18th, 2012, 12:09 AM I've made some changes to the point deductions section, basically making point deductions less strict. There aren't going to be any further changes regarding this issue though.

This is my main arena so far with lower bowl seats removed. Ik this project is independent but where is the best place to put the press box in the upper tier and what is an efficent way to design it?
Ik i may still need to make the upper tier bigger and add more seats.

Seriously? Just use layers, massively easier. Go to windows, layers and press the pls buton to create a new layrer. Right click on the seat or body of seats and go to entity info. move to menu thing to layer 2 or the new layer. then just tick or untick the box in layers to show and hide it.
look up some tutorials on youtube, trust me its much easuer than ur way.

just 1 point.
but it is out of 100 overall so 1 point isn't much

I used this but now i cannot get some of the seats to unhide. what could have happened?
cruz_lion July 22nd, 2012, 06:18 AM I wouldn't advocate using the hide/unhide by selection method. Put all your seats on one layer, and hide it whenever you're working on something not related to the seats. You can even split your seats into different layers. That way, you can hide/unhide by ticking and unticking a box, and theres no messy possibility of losing any of the seats.
kaz03 July 22nd, 2012, 06:19 AM i figured it out
Leedsrule July 22nd, 2012, 05:07 PM My court 2, holds 7344 plus wheelchair spaces (So I lose 3 points, am I right?)
Thats:
7004 normal seats incl. court side
340 VIP seats in total
38 upper tier VIP seats
302 lower tier VIP seats (Of which I will convert around 50 will be converted to press)
564 court-side seats
I made this a month or 2 back, but with a pretty crap roof. I just deleted the roof and converted it basicly. I dont think its good enough to be centre court so I made it court 2 or the eqivilant. Next I will do the main court with a retractable roof, holding around 9k and then I can start piecing it together. In seperate documents ill start building a practice court and stuff, and I would like to build at least 1 other olympic venue to accompany the tennis. I havent even decided on a country yet! Im thinking either Tokyo or Prague, but anyway...

Preliminary Rendering :: Estádio Maria Bueno
Seated Capacity: 7987 // Press seats: 42
Commentator Positions: 4 // VIP Seats: 242
Surface: Hard(Green) // Courtside Photographer Benches: 16
Court's End Photography Positions: 4
Exterior is made entirely of interlocking partitions of colored glass. The effect is seen best at night-time, when the light from inside the stadium walls will reflect a diffused rainbow pattern of light on its surroundings. Named after the most successful Brazilian female tennis player in history, Maria Bueno.
Still some work left to do on it. Things to add, glass partitions to fix, need to add the lighting in the inner stadium tiers, need to add the advertising, shops, entryway, surrounding scenery, etc.

U sure there are enough entrances 4 that?
Also, looks like there'd be a few restricted view seats?
cruz_lion July 24th, 2012, 07:56 PM U sure there are enough entrances 4 that?

There are 15 entrances into the seating area through 3 tiers of walkarounds. The side you're looking at actually has the least number of entrances. The two long sides have 4 entrances a piece, and the obscured side has 5. There are actually no obscured view seats, if you'll believe it, I've checked every one. I deleted any rows behind the commentary box that had obscured views. The first row of the commentary box, at a 5' tall person's eye level, sees the entirety of the court, plus about a meter. The entirety of the top row sees the entire court plus at least 2-3 meters at the ends. :)

cSaints July 24th, 2012, 08:42 PM Its worth pointing out that in tennis matches the players are often stood and hitting balls from outside the lines of the court.. I dunno, I think it might just about be okay
it doesn't seem to be the commentary box obstructing this view but more so the railing of the bottom tier.
I really like the design though

I agree to a large extent that it does somewhat "obstruct" in many cases the view. I'm contemplating changing most of the railings to glass to help this, which would also go with the theme of the outside of the stadium as well.
As far as the design, thanks. I really wanted to go with a design that reflected the colorfulness of the culture of rio, and stood out against the landscape.

YES!!! Tokyo is possibly the worst city in the world for this.
There is a park in the city which I will build it on, seems a better option than knocking down buildings. I cant afford any more penalties :/

It's impossible in Rio. The city is built on hilly terrain, and on each of those hills is a massive slum that encompasses almost the whole hill. There are no plots of land in the commerce center, either.

I know you obviously know Rio a lot better than me, but I have a couple of places which look like they could be built on.
This place is on a hill, I know, but it's close to the city and you could incorperate the hill into the design (Have the main stadium at the top then tiered courts going down).
http://i47.tinypic.com/28al3rr.jpg
The other place, on the island by the city with the university. A big open space here by the waterfront, and it's flat.
http://i47.tinypic.com/2i1jpxc.jpg
Also, I found this:
Tokyo's bid included $26 million to transform the existing Odaiba Marine Park into a spectator venue for both open-water swimming and the triathalon. The park is on Tokyo Bay. The entire Tokyo layout had 95% of the events taking place within an 5-mile radius, making it the most compact games in history.
Leedsrule July 28th, 2012, 03:43 PM DAMN!!! Just found an excellent location for my tennis complex, then realised the Ariake Tennis Forest Park is right next door. Tbh, they would use that in the olympics, so i have to find somewhere better which isnt that close.
Still seriously considering moving to a whole new country :/

Option 1 - Flip on Google Earth and look at the terrain. It's on the side of a huge hill, and has slums leading all the way up the incline on the side.
Option 2 - That land is entirely the property of the University.
Trust me, I've exhausted most possibilities. If the Brazilian government was involved, they would probably just demolish a slum or two, but I can't make that call, lol.

You have to get the land from somewhere! I did notice that first site was on a hill but i didnt know specificly how steep and if it was too steep. And couldnt you buy some of the land off the university, or build it under their name (The "University of Brazil" Olympic Centre) for them.
Remember you have to make these descisions, I like realism as much as anyone but you must make the call for this because you cant ask anyone in real life! Remember, these are just plans. The govement make the descisions you want them to make.
I know from geography that Barra is quite a nice place just outside Rio. How far is that from the city centre and maybe its worth taking a deduction. I have finally picked a site about 6 miles from the city centre, ill take the penalties.

You could look for a font online which is japanese, download it onto you're computer and you should be able to use it within the 3D text box.
Its ok, I sorted it a while ago. Simple solution acctualy, just use either Microsoft Jhenghai or Gungsuh fonts and it works.
cSaints August 18th, 2012, 04:36 AM Yea. I disappeared. And then I returned.
Basically my laptops broken and has been for a few weeks. I've been checking this and the stadium design thread regularly on my phone, I've just never bothered to log in til now coz I'm lazy. Sorry if I've ignored peoples questions, which I think I might have in the other thread :s from what I've seen of peoples designs, they've all been really impressive. I would hate for your work to go to waste kaz so I could extend the deadline a few days if that would be any use? If not, just submit what you've got done so far? Ok, it probably won't win but it will still be nice to see it and the ideas you had

ETSman August 22nd, 2012, 10:20 PM OMG, really nice dude!!!!
Leedsrule August 23rd, 2012, 10:36 AM Yeah looks great abde. Only problem is, that nbig roof which curls round (which looks great) has nothing supporiting it around the outside courts.
Oh and also there are not many entrances for courts 2 and 3. Maybe you didnt have time to cut them out but therer is no way to access half those seats.
It is good though and it really fits the location well. Good luck!
abde01 August 23rd, 2012, 11:01 AM thank you,
For the entry, I do not have time to finish them. Stadium 2 and 3 are not finished.
I do not have time...Sorry
Leedsrule August 23rd, 2012, 11:11 AM thank you,
For the entry, I do not have time to finish them. Stadium 2 and 3 are not finished.
I do not have time...Sorry
No problem, thats fair enough. Ill only just finish mine in time ;)
cSaints August 25th, 2012, 08:56 PM Please note that the deadline for the competition is tonight, but because I have things going on tonight, you just have to have your entries in by the time I'm back home tomorrow (Sunday) night; approx 23:00 BST)
Leedsrule August 25th, 2012, 09:45 PM ^^ I am going to seriously struggle to finish tonight.
Leedsrule August 25th, 2012, 11:42 PM Nope, not gonna be finished tonight.
Ill work on it tomorow for a bit but i think itll be tight to finish it at all. Renders are just sooooo slow and 2d exports are not good enough.
Itd be a shame to only have one entrant.
cSaints August 26th, 2012, 12:25 AM yea dont rush it, i'll just give everyone a couple more days.. not sure what happened to everyone else who were saying they were going to enter
Leedsrule August 26th, 2012, 10:09 AM yea dont rush it, i'll just give everyone a couple more days.. not sure what happened to everyone else who were saying they were going to enter
Ok cheers.
Although im acctualy going away tommorow so if I dont finish it today I wont be able to. Ive decided ill do 4 hours trying bto render, the next hour screenshotting what I didnt render and then maybe 2 hours on the presentation befcore packing ect for holiday. Im not usualy a structured person, im gonna have to keep to that if I want to finish.
Leedsrule August 26th, 2012, 08:10 PM I finisded it! Very very sorry for the massive size, if csaints can make it a bit smaller before transferring it to another thread that would be much appreciated but I have no time to do it myself. I sacrafised packing for holiday to finish this :p
For now just zoom out to view.
