TRANSCRIPT
The proposal aims to provide citizens a general idea of competitive sports and its role in Filipino culture
and ideals. The development will signify the social custom of Filipinos which necessitates our desire to
interact with each other through gathering in wide communal spaces.
The proposed Sports and Gaming Complex will not only benefit Pasay’s locality but it will also jump start
the objectives of the government to promote sports excellence, encouraging both amateur and
professional athletes with its new facilities and training environment, it can help our athletes in training
hard and improving their skills for higher competence in global and national competitions.
The proposed project will also provide a convenient and relaxing venue in holding cultural activities.
The project will provide both Active and Passive recreation such as Stadium for track and fields, soccer
fields and rugby/ football fields for the outdoor-active recreation; Basketball, volleyball and as well as
swimming for indoor-active recreational.

INTRODUCTION
Exhibition design is a broad subject with a rich history to
it. It is a discipline often overshadowed in pure minds by the exhibit
themselves and, is for this reason often taken for granted. For
although it is the exhibits that people go to see, it is more often
the presentation- the dramatic lighting, the simple explanatory
graphics, the design logic of the display modules that conveys the
story in a way that we can understand and that creates a memorable
effect. Exhibition organizers are constantly looking for new and
exciting ways to attract more visitors and have been very quick to
recognize the enormous scope for the creative presentation techniques.
Today’s exhibition reflects a much greater sympathy between exhibits
and presentation, and testifies to the skills of the graphic
designers, exhibition contractors and interior architects
involved. The great exhibition in London Hyde park in 1851, exposition
of 1925 the worlds fair, Disneyland and Disney world, traveling
funfairs and local agricultural shows are all familiar examples of
exhibition design, even though they are very hugely in scale and
subject.
BACKGROUND
The first such exhibition was held in 1756-1757 in England by
the Society of Arts, which exhibited all the entries and awarded
prizes for the best English manufactured products.
Beginning with the latter half of the 19th century, three types
of exhibitions and expositions became prominent.
- The first was the industrial exhibition, devoted to the
stimulation and progress of a specific industry or to all the
industries of a specified country or area.
- A second type of exhibition, particularly popular in
the U.S., was regional and was dedicated to the commemoration of a
historical event.
- The third type, the universal exposition, was
international in scope; it was sponsored by a national government and
displayed a wide variety of products.
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
It is known to us that Kathmandu has the diversified field of
culture, trade and industry. The native industry and products has not
much market in the country and the need of the modern age is not
fulfilled by the products manufactured within the country. But the art
and craft of the country is the natural skill of the people living
here and due to the lack of good marketing and exhibitions it is also
in the degrading state. For the enlistment and preservation of such
native industry, art and craft, exhibitions of such product and skill
should be organized to enhance its usability.
And on the other hand the modern needs are imported from the
foreign country every year. Each year new kind of products are
imported but because of the lack of good marketing and exhibition, the
actual need of the people is not identified and each year the business
is degrading day by day. So to enhance and to develop the current
trend of business and trade, exhibition and exposition are required to
understand the needs of the people and help in limited imports.
OBJECTIVES
It is now clear that exhibition and exposition are essential for
the promotion of development activities of the Nation. Though the
different private sectors are now exhibiting the various products of
agricultural goods, Handicrafts, textile & garment, machinery and
other consumer good and services; the lack of appropriate space and
other facilities and services the foreign exhibitors and visitors are
not much interested to participate in such exhibitions.
METHODOLOGY
For any project to be carried out the first step would be the
selection of proper methodology. The proposed methodology for the
project is as follows:
1. Theoretical Understanding and data collection
The required information for the project is gathered through the
literature review of books, reports, articles, research works, surveys
and other related documents regarding the data for the project. In the
process of information collection required data are also revealed and
analyzed. If needed survey work is also done for data collection.
a) Literature Review
To understand the different aspects and the value of the project book,
articles, project works, documents etc related to the project is
studied carefully. From the study we understand what to know more from
the case studies and what is required for the project.
b) Case studies
The case studies in the different aspect of the project help to solve
the problems in the project. There are different issues like
landscape, form, spatial organization, structure and even sometime in
these types of project the crowd which may be the major factors of the
project can be studied to get the desired output for such a function.
These issues would be dealt in case studies and literature review. The
proposed case studies for the projects are
i. Understanding Exhibition Spaces
ii. Crowd Management
iii. Long Span Structures
iv. Study of one identical building
Case study
The more we study the more we learn. And thus starting any building
design it is necessary to identify the requirements, feasibility,
problems and even the solutions. Case studies help to clarify the
project and provide the guideline for the design as well as the
counterpart for design problems. Case study has been done in the
following centers:
· Bhrikuti Mandap Exhibition Hall
· BICC (Birendra International Convention Centre)
· Pragati Maidan, Delhi
· Food Court, Blue Bird Mall
· Auditorium/ Conference Hall (Russian Culture Center)

Zoning Requirements
Planning Requirements
The overall planning of the whole premise must be in consonance with
the natural setting with functional spaces inside the complex.
Qualitative/Architectural Requirements
The aesthetic value is a must from the architectural view point.
The overall look of the center should reflect the modernity. The
final output complex will be modern since the function inside the
complex is of modern age reflecting modernism. Since the complex has
the key concept of exhibition, the building should itself look like an
exhibit performing the theme “Building as a sculpture”.
Site analysis
1. Site Location: The site is located in a quiet developing area, in the
eastern side of Madhyapur Thimi, kamerotar, Ward number 13. It lies in
the nearest boundary area of Bhaktapur and Kathmandu. This site has a
lot of potential values like high accessibility from all parts
of Kathmandu valley urban area and more approachable. This site has
been chosen for the City Exhibition Centerbecause it is located at
such an area which is very much in developing process, has lot of
potential. At this location, the center can be a venue for a day
outing and also can act as a landmark.
2. Site characteristics: The site is more or less rectangular in shape.
The site is simply a plain land with no contours, although it is
elevated 2m from the ring-road. Currently this area has been used as a
play area for the children.
3. Access and
approach: Approachable from the Ring-road. The site is accessed through
busy and traffic loaded Arniko Rajmarg. The Arniko Rajmarg serves and
as an important “link road” between the traffic arteries- the ring-
road and the airport road. The site is 4 km away from Koteshwor, 4 km
away from Bhaktapur and 6.5 km from Tribhuvan International Airport.
CONCLUSION
Exhibition center is more important to a country like Nepal and
for its further development. Exhibition means not only the new and
advance technology but also the good platform to show real meaning of
culture and preserve it. It is the good way to bring together the
development of modern technology as well as culture. Hence to revive
the culture and expose the quality of products introducing on open
market, definitely Exhibition is necessary and so is the exhibition
center.
