Abstract
This project is a response to the author's passion for sport and his curiosity about the architectural process that is necessary to understand and facilitate the interrelation of body, mind and soul.
The potential influence of physical exercise; its correlation with the metaphysical aspects of the individual and how this influence spills over into the larger context of society is investigated.
The primary objective of the architectural response is to amplify the potential of sport as a means of building peace and self- actualisation within a society that suffers from the effects of crime and violence.
Although popular culture reinforces the belief in the potential of sport, Spaaij (2009:1109) identifies factors and conditions that must be met if the positive value of sport is to be achieved.
The Research incorporates these factors and conditions into a multipurpose 'sport for development' community complex. This complex aims to augment the existing 'sport for development‘ programmes in Palestine and serve as a prototype for future sport centres and complexes , which ultimately includes everyone in the process of society development . This Project Is A Response To The Author's Passion For Sport And His Curiosity About The Architectural Process That Is Necessary To Understand And Facilitate The Interrelation Of Body, Mind And Soul.
