Choice modelling for planned special events: A study on improving accessibility of the AFAS AZ Stadium

This research provides insight into ways to increase accessibility for Planned Special Events (PSEs) via discrete choice modelling. A special focus within this study is put into the AFAS AZ Stadium in Alkmaar. During the events held at the AFAS AZ Stadium disturbances are experienced by its visitors with regard to crowding levels and access...

Ship The Stadium: Transforming Event Spaces: Embracing Temporality and Multifunctionality Through Modular and Circular Design

The essence of my project is to present a prototype as a statement against the ridiculousness of building a permanent stadium used only or mostly during a major international temporary sports events. In which the inhabitants of the place gain no real benefit from the investments of such a building after the tournament is finished. My prototype...

Design and optimisation of a structurally separated roof structure for event venues

Nowadays football stadium encounter a lot of problems. Often services are outdated and the capacity is often too large or too small. These capacity problems especially occur in stadium that are built for major tournaments. When the tournament is finished, no appropriate tenants can be found and the stadium often remains empty. Another problem...

One of these effects is that private investors are starting to see the possibilities of investing in sports real estate, stadiums. In addition, there is a...

Computational Reuse Optimisation

Application development for reusing structural stadium elements in a new project and configuration through implementation of a genetic algorithm.

Aquarena: The Coolest stadium in the world (cup)

The project is about a world-cup stadium for Qatar 2022 which uses water-based systems for cooling and consumption.

Innovative Stadium Design

Each four years for every World Cup event, 10 large stadiums are needed. These stadiums fulfill their purpose for only one month and afterwards the hosting country will be left with stadiums too big for their own competition or needs. The step from football stadium to multifunctional stadium is already made, in our view the next step is turning...
