I found out many interesting features of design including e.g. product design, interior design and architecture from the website. This is the first example.
Football Training Centre Soweto by RUF project.
Canadian practice RUFproject have completed a football training centre in Soweto,
South Africa, with wooden louvres wrapping the upper parts of the structure.
Designed in conjunction with Nike Global Football Brand Design, the exterior
walls of the rectangular building are rendereed in local sandstone.
The upper part of the building overhangs the lower, providing shaded areas for players
between matches.
Located on the ground floor, the gym and catering area face the pitch and have
moveable screen façades, opening them up to the field.The facility comprises
two full-sized pitches, two smaller ones, a clubhouse, player lounge, offices, viewing deck,
gym and changing rooms.
Situated in the heart of Soweto, the Football Training Centre is the centre of football
in South Africa, where 1200 teams and 20,000 footballers play each year. In less than
6 months, the facility was transformed into a state of the art football training centre – the first of it’s
kind in Africa, and the rest of the world.
