terrace formations which also doubles up as an
amphitheater

•Pathways in a sport complex is the most important factor, through pathways a
person would get the feel of complex.
•Pathway connects the whole of the complex hence the realization of the
oneness of the complex is brought.
Pathways

found in institutional
pathways

PARKING
• Also known as car lot is a cleared area that
is more or less level and is intended for
parking vehicles.
• The area that has been provided with a
durable or semi-durable surface.
• Needs fairly large spaces around 25
sq.m.(270sq.ft.) times the number of
spaces.
• Need more large area than corresponding
buildings,offices,shops, if most employees
and visitors arrive by car.
• Material used for parking is brick, pervious
concrete, stone, paving blocks or tire-tread
woven mats.
• These materials are allow to soak rain
water into the ground through the spaces
inherent in the parking lot surface.
White arrows show direction of allowed travel in each lane. Several
parking spaces closest to the building are reserved for the
handicapped. Cars of various colors are shown parked in some of the
spaces

Softscaping
•Use of artificial grass for landscaping
•Types of natural grass
•Use of Shrubs
•Garden, kids play area
•Golf course.

Artificial turf is a surface manufactured
from synthetic fibers made to look like
natural grass. It is most often used in arenas
for sports
ARTIFICIAL GRASS OR
ARTIFICIAL TURF
INSTALLATION
It is quite easy to install an artificial grass
turf.
There is no need to lay any foundations
for it.
Installing an Synthetic Turf Perth is
almost as simple as placing a carpet on
the floor Rafay Ahmad and group

FEATURES
After installation it does not need to be watered
Synthetic lawns create less dust and
they do not produce problems such as mud, rocks
It does not require maintenance

grass can also heat up faster and retain
more heat in the summer months, making
it harder to use
DISADVANTAGES
Friction between skin and artificial turf
causes abrasions

ZOYSIA:
Zoysia are found in coastal areas or
grasslands
BENTGRASS:
Bents are commonly used for lawn grass. This is
a desirable grass for golf course tees, fairways
and greens.
Types of grass to be used in sports complex
The quality of grass influences the roll of the
ball in sports like golf, cricket, football etc.

Kentucky Bluegrass:
It is used for making lawns in parks and gardens
and is common in cool moist climates like the
northeastern United States
Bermuda Grass:
It is widely cultivated in warm climates all over
the world and it is also found that it has
antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Using Shrubs as a tool for landscaping

Garden/ Play area

GOLF COURSE
•A specialty of landscape design, golf
course architecture is its own field of
study.
•A successful design is as visually pleasing
as it is playable.
•With golf being an outdoor form of
recreation, the strong designer is an
adept student of natural landscaping,
understanding the aesthetic cohesion of
vegetation, water bodies, paths, grasses,
stonework and woodwork, among other
things.
•While golf courses often follow the
original landscape, some modification is
unavoidable. This is increasingly the case
as new courses are more likely to be sited
on less optimal land.

Waterscaping
TYPES of Pools:
•Private pools
• Public pools
•Competition pools
•Exercise pools
•Hot tubs and spa pools
•Ocean pools
• Infinity pools
• Natural pools and ponds
•Pools
•Water bodies
•Multipurpose pool area

Olympic Pool
Zaha Hadid: pool for 2012 olympics
Length 50 m (164 ft)
Width 25 m (82 ft)
Number of lanes 10
Lane width 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in)
Water temperature 25–28 °C (77–82 °F)
Depth minimum 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in)
Volume
minimum 2,500 m3 (88,000 cu ft) or
2,500,000 L (550,000 imp gal; 660,000 US gal),
depending on depth

Multi Purpose pool/ Water body
•From quiet still shallow ponds to the active spray jets in a formal pool, water can
provide just the right element for the many moods of a landscaped space. Because of
the wide range of options that are available, adding a water feature can be
accomplished for even the smallest of garden areas.
•Because of the fluid nature of water, water gardens can be of any size, shape, or depth.
Since the construction methods, materials, and costs differ considerably for large ponds
versus small water gardens hence proving to be a very important tool in landscaping.

Green Roofs
•A green roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with
vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane.
• It may also include additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and
irrigation systems..

•Reduce heating (by adding mass and thermal
resistance value)
•Reduce cooling (by evaporative cooling) loads on a
building by fifty to ninety percent
•Reduce stormwater run off .
•Filter pollutants and carbon dioxide out of the air
which helps lower disease rates such as asthma.
•Filter pollutants and heavy metals out of rainwater
•Help to insulate a building for sound..
