Introduction:
In Pakistan urban development was initially based on compact planning that created neighborhoods with mixed
land use, we find such kind of planning in wall city Lahore where every urban element has its own identity and
image which collectively reflects the image of the neighborhood or the community. With the ascent of automobiles
and the emergence of modern architecture people start looking beyond the walls of the city and the growth of
community starts towards the horizon, and they left the image or identity of the city within the walls of old Lahore.
Now as Architects we should try to reshape the community in its REAL sense to create a sense of place, belonging
and interactive community by introducing new urbanism in Lahore.
What is new urbanism?
A built environment which is diverse in use and population, scaled for the pedestrian, and
capable of accommodating the automobiles and mass transit.
New Urbanism
• Derived from traditional urbanism.
• Initially a reaction to sprawl.
• Now a base for sustainable urban
growth.
• And a basis for addressing physical
health and social well-being
• Mixed use of land
• Homes
• Workplaces
• Shops
• Restaurants
• Walkable Neighborhoods
• Rather than large single-use developments connected by streets hostile
to pedestrians

Cricket Stadium
Sports play an important role in society. It provides positive learning experience besides developing self confidence.
Sportsmanship and ability to work in team. Our youth is deprived of sports facilities and its result in the form of
aggression, increasing addiction, frustration etc. among youth is obvious. Sportsmanship expresses an aspiration or
ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a
sense of fellowship with one's competitors. Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good
loser”.
Stadium Design:
The Stadium building itself should be a memorable landmark like
many of the architectural achievements of previous eras. Its
intention is, therefore, to create a unique venue to reflect its identity.
It will provide 30, 000 spectator capacity. As a state-of-the-art
facility, it will provide an inspirational venue for both players and
spectators alike. It will be capable of holding major national and
international sporting events while providing unsurpassed spectator
viewing facilities combined with comfort and safety.
Stadium Structure
The Stadium structure should create a sheltered seating bowl with the
required standard of spectator viewing and accommodation. To achieve this,
the structural engineering issues to be addressed include safety, stability,
serviceability and economy.

SITE ANALYSIS
LOCATION
The site is located in the city of
Lahore. Lahore is the city in
northeastern Pakistan, on the
Rāvi River, capital of Punjab
Province. It is situated
approximately 25 kilometers' (16
mi) from Wagah (the only road
border crossing between India
and Pakistan. It is the principal
commercial, banking, and
transportation center of the
province.

CASE STUDY
Emirates Stadium
HISTORY: Arsenal started looking to develop a larger stadium during the latter part of the 1990s, as their
existing ground at Highbury had a capacity of 38,419 when it became all-setter in 1993, which was lower
than the stadium capacities of almost every other European football club of comparable stature. There was
little room for expansion as the East Stand backed directly onto the pavement of a public road and the
other three backed onto housing; in addition the East Stand is a Grade II listed building. Local residents
had objected to any expansion of the stadium and the local council was not sympathetic.
The design of stadium:
It is the only stadium that is four tiered. The
lower tier is large and shallow, set well back
from the playing surface as a cinder track
surrounds the playing area. A small second
tier, which is called the Club tier, has seating,
but is only eight rows high. Inside it has a
number of lounges/restaurants, earning it the
nickname the 'prawn circle'. This Club tier
slightly overhangs the bottom tier.
The third tier is even smaller, being entirely
comprised of executive boxes, some 150 in total
and fits entirely under the large fourth tier.
This fourth tier, known as the upper tier, has
been designed in a semicircular fashion and is
topped by an impressive looking roof, that
includes a lot of visible white tubular steelwork
and Perspex panels to allow more light to get
to the pitch
