Sheikh Kamal sports complex: Abahoni ground, Shat Mosjit Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka

Abstract

Sheikh Kamal Sports Center is designed to accommodate different types of sports easily. While any center could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multi-functionality over specificity. While building in this way, both the sports teams and government can share costs. If a building is multi-use, a planner should be asking what kind of surface it has (meaning of what product), and thinking about what type of roll the ball will take as a result. It is also helpful to ask what types of sports are being played on the arena. Keeping in mind about the uncontrolled growth of the population with the proportional decrease in open space, to build a sports complex so that the need within limited land area can be accommodated by the efficient use of the land are the main area of exploration of this paper. The aim of the paper is to set an example of the possible solutions of the government proposed Sheikh Kamal Sports Complex within the context of Dhaka, Bangladesh – which is one of the most densely populated city as well as country and also facing the issue of sports facility badly.
