This thesis reconceptualizes the stadium as a continuous urban system rather than a singular, event-driven object. Conventional stadiums operate at extremes, intensely occupied during events yet largely vacant in everyday conditions, resulting in spatial, economic, and social inefficiencies within the city.
This project proposes an integrated model in which stadiums are embedded within residential, commercial, and civic programs. Through this approach, athletic, cultural, and public activities coexist within a shared environment, allowing the stadium to function as part of the everyday urban fabric. Adaptable fields, layered circulation, and publicly accessible spaces transform stadium infrastructure into an open, flexible, and continuously inhabited system.
By prioritizing temporal flexibility, the stadium shifts from a periodic destination into a sustained urban condition, one that supports large-scale events while remaining active and accessible beyond them. In this model, sport becomes one of several temporal conditions, allowing the stadium to remain active beyond event-based use.
