This thesis explores the potential of the sports museum as a major institution and resource. Drawing from the great tradition of sports and from the character of the New England region, the design of a New England Sports Museum is undertaken. The museum's design is formulated on a concept of architectural imbeddedness; the notion of a "world within" - a world which in preserving a contextual fabric and character becomes part of the life of that context, while engendering a distinct experience within which is its own.

Function is the first priority of designing architecture. Function lets architectural space serve human body movement properly.
Today, there are many sport centers( gyms) for people to choose. Most of the gyms are simply rooms with machines. Athough their spaces can fulfill the basic demands of a workout gym (function), the function of gym design is not only to give people spacce to work out, but slao to use the architectural space to improve exercise performance.
As a bodybuilder and powerlifter for seven years, I have competed in bodybuilding. I am also planning to compete in powerlifting. So, I want to use my knowledge and experience of training to imrove the exercise performance through design of the architectural space.Master of Architecture

PURPOSE: To examine the relationships between muscle architecture and countermovement jump height, peak power, and maximal strength in collegiate volleyball players. METHODS: Fifteen female volleyball players (20 ± 1.3y, 176.3 ± 6.6cm, 70.1 ± 8.4 kg) were recruited as part of an ongoing athlete monitoring program. Athletes were tested on measures of vastus lateralis (VL) and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA), and fascicle length (FL) using ultrasonography; countermovement jump height (CMJH, n = 14 and peak power allometrically scaled (CMJPPa, n = 14); and isometric peak force allometrically scaled (IPFa, n = 12). Pearson’s product moment zero-order correlations were used for analysis with critical alpha set to p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Analysis revealed a positive relationship between VL MT and IPFa (r = 0.64, p = 0.025) and an inverse relationship between LG MT and CMJH (r = -0.54, p = 0.048). There were positive relationships between VL PA and all performance measures and between LG PA and CMJPPa (r = 0.54 to 0.71, p. < 0.05), and inverse relationships between VL FL and CMJPPa and between LG FL and all performance measures (r = -0.59 to -0.67, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Better jumpers had larger PA and shorter FL in both VL and LG, and stronger athletes had greater MT in VL, showing that differences in muscle architecture can influence performance parameters. Considering these findings and the results from previous longitudinal studies demonstrating the effects of heavy strength training on muscle architecture, it is recommended that collegiate volleyball athletes incorporate heavy lower body strength training into their training plan in order to increase PA in VL and LG and MT in VL.

Many mountain resorts lack balance in revenue from season to season. Mountain resorts are most often geared toward, and capitalize on, peak ski season, receiving much less visitation and revenue in the summer season and even more so in the spring and fall. Due to projected climate changes, “increasing temperatures will affect important winter activities such as downhill and cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling, which require snow on the ground. Projections indicate later snow and less snow coverage in ski resort areas” (Karl, Melillo, Peterson, 133). This indicates an even greater need for a shift to year-round attractions for visitors in order to balance the revenue stream of mountain resorts. The infusion of an all-season action sports camp is a catalyst to generate an increase in year-round visitation and profit for the resort. Examples of action sports include skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, BMX biking, and mountain biking. When integrating an action sports camp into the existing resort, striving for balance, harmony, and oneness between the existing and proposed is imperative to success. These principals are present in the sports and allow for the connection from the athletes to the landscape. With any proposed development, specifically in mountain environments, potential environmental impacts are an issue, especially at a site where the natural scenic beauty is in such high demand. “It is the resort’s environment that draws the customer” Schwanke, 119). The relationships between the mountain, resort, camp, and users must be balanced and work in harmony with each other. Copper Mountain Resort provides an ideal location to implement this strategy. Catalyst Action Sports Camp plays on the tension between the mountain and the human, capitalizing on the balance, harmony, and oneness between them. Campers are connected to the surrounding mountain majesty through directed views, inspiring and exciting them to progress their skills and challenge their fears and become one with the mountain. Catalyst is infused into the existing resort, harmonizing with resort operations and stimulating life in the village in all seasons. Ultimately,Catalyst Action Sports Camp helps balance the revenue stream and provide additional stability given changing climate scenarios.

PURPOSE: To examine changes in muscle architecture, reactive strength, and explosive ability in collegiate volleyball players throughout a competitive season. METHODS: Ten female volleyball players (20.4 ± 1.1 y, 178.3 ± 4.8 cm, 72.6 ± 5.3 kg) were recruited for the study. Athletes were tested at pre-season (T1), pre-taper (T2), and post-taper (T3) on measures of vastus lateralis muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA), and fascicle length (FL) using ultrasonography, countermovement jump reactive strength index modified (RSImod), and peak power allometrically scaled (PPa). Training load (TL: session RPEduration) and strength training volume-load times displacement (VLd) were monitored for 15 wks. One-way repeated measures ANOVAs were used for analysis with alpha level set at p≤0.05. RESULTS: There was a reduction in VLd/wk (p<0.001, d=3.1) and TL/wk (p<0.001, d=2.7) between in-season (T1-T2) and tapering (T2-T3) training phases. There were time effects for MT (p<0.001) and PA (p=0.03). Post-hoc pairwise comparisons revealed changes in MT (increase T1-T2: p<0.001, d=2.8 and T1-T3: p<0.001, d=1.7; decrease T2-T3: p=0.01, d=0.6), PA (increase T1-T2: p=0.02, d=3.9), and no changes in FL or PPa. Despite no time effect, RSImod showed an increasing trend from T2-T3: p=0.04, d=0.23. CONCLUSIONS: In-season training resulted in favorable changes in muscle architecture, which remained elevated above pre-season values following the taper. These changes coupled with the reductions in TL and VLd during the taper may be related to changes in stretch-shortening cycle function during a sport-specific task as inferred from the changes in RSImod

This thesis describes a compact, wireless, wearable system that measures, for purposes of biomechanical analysis, signals indicative of forces, torques and other descriptive and evaluative features that the human body undergoes during bursts of extreme physical activity (such as during athletic performance). Standard approaches leverage high speed camera systems, which need significant infrastructure and provide limited update rates and dynamic accuracy, to make these measurements. This project uses 6 degree-of-freedom inertial measurement units worn on various segments of an athlete's body to directly make these dynamic measurements. A combination of low and high G sensors enables sensitivity for slow and fast motion, and the addition of a compass helps in tracking joint angles. Data from the battery-powered nodes is acquired using a custom wireless protocol over an RF link. This data, along with rigorous calibration data, is processed on a PC, with an end product being precise angular velocities and accelerations that can be employed during biomechanical analysis to gain a better understanding of what occurs during activity. The focus of experimentation was baseball pitching and batting at the professional level. Several pitchers and batters were instrumented with the system and data was gathered during several pitches or swings. The data was analyzed, and the results of this analysis are presented in this thesis. The dynamic results are more precise than from other camera based systems and also offer the measurement of metrics that are not available from any other system, providing the opportunity for furthering sports medicine research. System performance and results are evaluated, and ideas for future work and system improvements are presented.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an overreach and taper on measures of muscle architecture, jumping, and throwing performance in Division I collegiate throwers preparing for conference championships. Six collegiate track and field throwers (3 hammer, 2 discus, 1 javelin) trained for 12 weeks using a block-periodization model culminating with a 1-week overreach followed by a 3-week taper (ORT). Session rating of perceived exertion training load (RPETL) and strength training volume-load times bar displacement (VLd) were recorded weekly. Athletes were tested pre-ORT and post-ORT on measures of vastus lateralis architecture, unloaded and loaded squat and countermovement jump performance, underhand and overhead throwing performance, and competition throwing performance. There was a statistical reduction in weight training VLd/session (d = 1.21, p ≤ 0.05) and RPETL/session (d = 0.9, p ≤ 0.05) between the in-season and ORT training phases. Five of 6 athletes improved overhead throw and competition throwing performance after the ORT (d = 0.50, p ≤ 0.05). Vastus lateralis muscle thickness statistically increased after the in-season training phase (d = 0.28, p ≤ 0.05) but did not change after the ORT. Unloaded countermovement jump peak force and relative peak power improved significantly after the ORT (d = 0.59, p ≤ 0.05, d = 0.31, p ≤ 0.05, respectively). These findings demonstrate that an overreaching week followed by a 3-week taper is an effective means of improving explosive ability and throwing performance in collegiate track and field throwers despite the absence of detectable changes in muscle architecture.

Sports venues require large amounts of parking to facilitate the number of spectators attending an event. The parking, mostly surface, is underutilized when compared to traditional parking lots accommodating daily use. Large parking surfaces alter the natural hydrological cycle by generating large volumes of runoff. Over time, pollutants build up on a parking surface and are discharged into a stormwater drainage system during a rain event. The intent of the research is to investigate the use of Best Management Practices that ultimately reduce the pollutant loads created by stormwater runoff while creating amenities for spectators that could potentially generate revenue. The focus of the study will be on a 400 acre sports venue in Kansas City, Missouri, the Truman Sports Complex. To understand retrofitting stormwater management practices, one must understand how large parking lots are constructed and understand successful examples. Through the use of archival research, interviews and analysis of two parking lot case studies, Northgate Mall in Seattle, Washington and US Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois, the research analyzed how retrofitting design solutions are utilized to reduce stormwater pollutant loads. Each case study documents a distinct type of retrofitting strategy; bioswales at Northgate Mall and permeable concrete pavers at US Cellular Field. Using the Design Point Method developed by the Center for Watershed Protection, the research analyzes each case study retrofit design solution - conceptually and post construction. The Design Point Method allowed the research to measure the success of retrofitting strategies and informed the research to as to how the strategies could be implemented at the Truman Sports Complex. The conclusion of the project is a retrofit design solution of a surface parking lot at the Truman Sports Complex. Using the Design Point Method as an analysis tool, the final study provides compelling evidence that retrofitting existing surface parking lots at sports venues using Best Management Practices provides a sustainable solution to reducing pollutant loads while creating the potential for enhancing the tailgate experience for the sports fan.

Social interaction is an essential part of human communication, however the participants are often miles apart. Technological advances strive to bridge the physical distances between people, but generally lack the social potential offered through activities such as sports and games. An Exertion Interface combines the strength of both: the ability of sports to connect people socially, and the ability of telecommunications to connect people over a distance. By requiring intense physical effort from the participants, an Exertion Interface creates a better social bonding experience than traditional computer interfaces. This assertion is tested through the creation of a system in which two remotely-located participants play a physically demanding ball game against each other while communicating through an overlaid life-size video-conference. A study with 56 participants showed that players who used the Exertion Interface played longer, said they got to know the other player better, had more fun, became better friends, and were happier with the transmitted audio and video quality in comparison to a control group playing the game with the same video-conferencing setup, but using a traditional keyboard interface. Exertion Interfaces, which are easy to learn, but hard to master, open a door to a new world of interfaces that facilitate social interaction between remote individuals.

This study focuses on a cultural phenomenon that is driven by the demolition of Major League Baseball stadiums, ballparks, and fields. Prompted by their inherent role in the evolution of the sport and the inadequacies of the existing historic preservation framework, this study examines how American society preserves this utilitarian form, after their demolition, through observations, data collection, and analysis. In doing so, this study exposes that Major League Baseball stadiums, ballparks, and fields are preserved through the use of nine overlapping preservation methods, which memorialize five significant features. However, though these preservation methods do not prevent Major League Baseball stadiums from being demolished, they do illustrate how our society alternatively preserves historically and culturally significant resources when the existing historic preservation framework is rendered incompatible.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis puts forward the problematic situation in the very urban center of Ankara with an
analytical method to investigate the roots of several problems. Building its argument on historical
facts, in depth observations, and political, social, and urban analysis, it proposes a rational basis
for the rehabilitation of 19 Mayis Sports District, mainly focusing on the means of elevating the
physical quality through the capacity of social inclusion concerning the sports activity settings
and places in the region. All in all, the basic argument stands on the belief that the spatial basis of
the 19 Mayis Sports District and the neighboring urban tissue around it might be re-defined and
rehabilitated, if only its historical, political, ideological, and socio-cultural bases are redefined.
Therefore, the study searches for rehabilitation of the 19 Mayis Sports District in Ulus, Ankara,
by adapting and integrating sports with other cultural collective practices, and defining it as an
alternative life-style for citizens. Because the district lays on the second division of Atatürk Culture Center Region, a sports culture and its policy should be defined and designed for to amend that division of the region by preparing a principal master plan for the region and for the division.

Full textAbstract:
The architecture of the sports stadium has evolved dramatically throughout its history. From the ancient gladiatorial arenas to the domes and retractable-roof ballparks of the 20th Century, the stadium has become an iconic and integral part of life, in our modern society. Through the globalization of sports and sporting events, such as the Olympics and World Cup, new and more exciting opportunities are being extended to those who, historically, have been without the resources or infrastructural means to support such endeavors. However, for all the excitement and optimism that accompanies the initial design and planning, the actual development of the necessary structures and support systems rarely provides the expected return on what, ultimately, becomes a staggering investment of time, money, and labor. In fact, operators have found it nearly impossible to provide for the continued operation, maintenance, and regular occupation of these facilities, thus resulting in an overwhelming burden on the local community.
It is the purpose of this thesis to provide a survey of architectural precedents from selected mega-events of the last 100 years, as well as a number of other contemporary stadium projects, in an effort to fully convey the magnitude and relevancy of this issue, to identify industry trends and practical models, and more definitively present the need for an alternative approach to design. Additionally, a proposal will be put in place for more of a focus on modularity and prefabrication, in order to transform the Olympic or World Cup stadium into a less permanent element within the urban landscape. It is the hope that the systemic issues, currently associated with hosting international sporting events, may be remedied through the architecture, and ultimate disassembly, of the 21st Century stadium. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce the negative impact of such undertakings, and to aid in the realization of the inherent potential for positive change therein.

Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2017. https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu-works/4656.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the current study was (1) to examine the differences between standing and lying measures of vastus lateralis (VL), muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA), and cross-sectional area (CSA) using ultrasonography; and (2) to explore the relationships between lying and standing measures with isometric and dynamic assessments of force production—specifically peak force, rate of force development (RFD), impulse, and one-repetition maximum back squat. Fourteen resistance-trained subjects (age = 26.8 ± 4.0 years, height = 181.4 ± 6.0 cm, body mass = 89.8 ± 10.7 kg, back squat to body mass ratio = 1.84 ± 0.34) agreed to participate. Lying and standing ultrasonography images of the right VL were collected following 48 hours of rest. Isometric squat assessments followed ultrasonography, and were performed on force platforms with data used to determine isometric peak force (IPF), as well as RFD and impulse at various time points. Forty-eight hours later, one-repetition maximum back squats were performed by each subject. Paired-samples t-tests revealed statistically significant differences between standing and lying measurements of MT (p < 0.001), PA (p < 0.001), and CSA (p ≤ 0.05), with standing values larger in all cases. Further, standing measures were correlated more strongly and abundantly to isometric and dynamic performance. These results suggest that if practitioners intend to gain insight into strength-power potential based on ultrasonography measurements, performing the measurement collection with the athlete in a standing posture may be preferred.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura com a especialização em ArquiteturaA perceção atual da cidade e das dinâmicas do seu espaço urbano, define-se por imagens, espaços e estímulos que atuam sobre as pessoas e se refletem na arquitetura dos lugares. O Seixal é um desses exemplos, onde o simbolismo de uma era industrial permanece um elemento marcante na paisagem e morfologia da cidade. A Arquitetura como Portal do Mar tem como objetivo desenvolver um projeto que provoque uma nova forma de olhar para a relação entre cidade, rio e paisagem. Para esta reflexão será analisado o passado da cidade para podermos compreender a sua história e os seus valores. Os conceitos teóricos abordados irão estar, de alguma forma incorporados, na proposta de um desenho urbano que abrange a frente ribeirinha da Ponta dos Corvos, unificando algumas das construções moageiras desde o moinho de maré do Galvão até ao moinho de maré da Torre e melhorando a união deste espaço com a zona do Miratejo. Deste modo, o projeto da Ponta dos Corvos pretende tirar partido das condições naturais únicas que oferece e reutilizar o património industrial marginalizado e ainda evidenciar a qualidade ecológica da zona. A proposta arquitetónica pretende obter um caracter educativo e cultural tal como a valorização do conhecimento, da cultura e do desporto, do território existente, natural e patrimonial, associando-se à identidade local, promovendo assim memória da cidade.
ABSTRACT: The perception of the city these days is defined by images and spaces that somehow create dynamics, impulses between people and architecture. Seixal is one example of that, where the symbolism of an industrial era remains a striking element in the landscape and morphology of the city. Architecture as a Sea Portal aims to develop a project that provokes a new way of looking at the relationship between city, river and landscape. For this reflection we will analyze the city's past in order to understand its history and values. The theoretical concepts approached will be somehow incorporated in the proposal of an urban design that covers the riverfront of Ponta dos Corvos, unifying some of the mill constructions from the Galvão tide mill to the Torre tide mill and improving the union of this space with the Miratejo area. In this way, the Ponta dos Corvos project intends to take advantage of the unique natural conditions it offers and reuse the marginalised industrial heritage and also highlight the ecological quality of the area. The architectural proposal intends to obtain an educational and cultural character, such as the valorization of knowledge, culture and sport, of the existing territory, natural and patrimonial, associating itself with the local identity, promoting the memory of the city.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine changes in muscle architecture and jumping performance in NCAA division I women's volleyball players throughout a competitive season and in preparation for conference championships. Ten women volleyball players were tested at preseason (T1), pretaper (T2), and post-taper (T3) on measures of vastus lateralis muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA) and fascicle length (FL) using ultrasonography, and unloaded and loaded squat jump height (SJH) and peak power allometrically scaled to body mass (SJPPa) on a force platform. Rating of perceived exertion training load and strength training volume load were monitored weekly. Player's MT (p < 0.001, Glass's Δ = 2.8) and PA increased (p = 0.02, Δ = 3.9) after in-season training. However, MT decreased after the taper (p = 0.01, Δ = 0.6) but remained elevated above preseason values (p < 0.001, Δ = 1.7). There were no statistical changes in FL, SJH, or SJPPa. Large-to-very large negative relationships (r = −0.51 to −0.81) were observed between preseason relative maximal strength and changes in SJH and SJPPa with various loads over the season. These findings demonstrate that relatively low volumes of strength training and concurrent sport training during a tapering period are capable of preserving jumping performance, but not MT in women's volleyball players; however, jumping performance changes seem to be related to the player's strength level. Stronger players may benefit from an overreaching microcycle before the taper to preserve previously accrued muscular adaptations and jumping performance.

Full textAbstract:
Sports stadiums have a considerable impact on the urban, environmental and social context. In particular, where several new stadiums are built within the same city for a single mega-event like the Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games or Soccer World Cup the implications are significantly higher. Therefore the requirements for operation of each stadium after the mega-event are of great importance to ensure sustainable integration into the urban, environmental and social context as well as maximized utilization on a long-term basis. In the first part of this thesis a review of the subject is presented. A brief history of the development of stadium design in the Olympic context, evolving requirements for staging Olympic Summer Games, the structure of organizations involved, existing literature research and certification methods are summarized. In the second part the methodology and development of the bespoke research tool based on existing certification systems such as BREEAM, LEED and DGNB is described. Subsequently, case studies for three different stadium types (Olympic Stadium, Indoor Stadium and Football Stadium) used for the Olympic Summer Games in Sydney (2000), Athens (2004) and Beijing (2008) are analysed based on literature research, field surveys and interviews. The comparative assessment of each stadium type is conducted with an evaluation matrix in three denominations: urban category, environmental category and social category. In each category two indicators with two respective parameters are evaluated based on a five-point score system. Subsequently the general applicability of the research tool is verified with an example appraisal of Wembley Stadium which was used for the Olympic Summer Games in London (2012). Conclusions are drawn in the third part of the thesis, separately for each of the three denominations urban category, environmental category and social category. In the urban category sports stadiums built on a site previously used for sports venues or adjacent to other existing venues are rated significantly higher, because existing sites are already integrated into the urban context and located in proximity to the city centre as well as other mixed-use areas resulting in synergy effects with extended catchment areas and good connectivity. In the environmental category sports stadiums are rated higher if specific requirements for operation of the sports stadium after the Olympic Games are already considered in the design to ensure maximised adaptability and flexibility. Dismantle of the overlay (tailor-made structures/installations required for staging the event) after the Olympic Games reduces energy consumption in subsequent operation. Overlay designed for permanent usage or reuse at a different venue further increases the level of sustainability. Usage of energy efficient systems with power generation and water conservation preserves resources. In the social category sports stadiums are rated higher if a balanced proportion of sport usage and other usages is achieved. The long-term utilization of a sports stadium correlates with the level of urban integration, urban context, building type and usage mix. Sports stadiums utilized by more than one home team and integration of other usages (e.g. retail, commercial, recreation, etc.) achieve a significantly higher level of utilization. The last chapter summarizes recommendations for stadium design in the Olympic context. To ensure a long-term utilization of each sports stadium after the Olympic Games it is suggested that applicant/candidate cities carry out comprehensive feasibility studies in collaboration with an operator to develop a bespoke project brief and business plan for operation of each venue at bidding stage. In order to enhance the existing knowledge base it is further recommended to collect and compare operational data (e.g. water, energy consumption etc.) from the different venues of the hosting cities to allow an independent assessment of the level of sustainability during long-term operation. Additional data to verify indicators relating to design efficiency such as average construction area per seat as well as dead loads of spectator stands and roof structures should be compared for establishment of benchmarks to verify the efficiency of the structural elements for an even more sustainable design of sports stadiums.

This project explores the juxtaposition of classical and contemporary architectural forms as they coexist within Richmond City’s urban fabric. It is an assessment and understanding of how the built environment can reinforce transitions between old and new in ways that both integrate architectural differences and embrace historical identity.
Richmond, and a large part of Virginia in general, has been shaped by the historical events of its existence. The sights of the city reveal a clash of the old and new. It is a city where newer developments and traditional elements have been trying to co-mingle.
The design incorporates a contemporary architectural language that joins with the building’s historical surroundings without breaking the balance of the composition.

Full textAbstract:
Literature suggests that the original and "pure" elements of cross country course design have faded through time; in order to wholly enhance course design the original elements must be preserved and united with desired modern course elements. "Pure" sport is defined by an athlete's struggle and persistence that occur amidst tough competition, rugged course elements, and physical pain. In addition to identifying the desired elements through literature review, case studies, and self-experience of cross country course design, it was necessary to confirm the desired elements through interviewing eight key informants. The key informants were renowned and accomplished NCAA cross country coaches selected to represent a wide geographic. These eight informants were interviewed to unveil which elements of cross country courses were desired, important, essential, would advance design, and are underutilized and present in their favored courses.
The results from the interviews confirmed a deep desire for enhanced course design by unionizing the elements present in the "pure" sport of cross country with contemporary desired elements. The new "pure" sport of cross country can be obtained through the utilization of the elements revealed within this thesis. Designing courses that will provide unchanged emotions from the "pure" sport of cross country, yet do not incorporate excessively rough course elements, will be the new "pure" sport of cross country.
Overall, the results show designing for the athlete, which includes safety, well defined routing and proper carrying capacity, an accomplished sense of place, advanced technologies and facilities, sport appropriate and safe footing and reasonable terrain, and spectator engagement, would considerably improve design. In order to preserve the "pure" sport of cross country while also integrating modern desired and necessary elements, course designers must use pioneering design methods in order to incorporate all of the desired elements.
The main objective of this research was accomplished and has established a foundation upon which subsequent research efforts may begin. This work serves as a catalyst to improving cross country course design by attaining the knowledge of proper, intensified, and innovative design.

L'architecture contribue-t-elle a donner du caractere aux liens montagnards? quel role joue-t-elle dans les relations entre l'homme et la montagne, et peut-elle ameliorer ces relations ? la montagnite est-elle cet environnement meilleur ou se jouent des relations privilegiees entre l'homme et la montagne? cette problematique est verifiee sur trois sites des alpes du nord, en hautesavoie, ou l'on observe trois types d'acteurs et d'intentions, trois histoires, couvrant ainsi une etendue significative de l'evolution de la montagne, depuis la montagne pre-touristique jusqu'a la station integree. En etudiant les procedures d'inscription de l'architecture dans le lieu et en analysant les objets construits, d'un point de vue architecturologique et semiotique, on montre que la montagnite est le caractere specifique d'un lieu montagnard ou s'expriment des pratiques sociales pertinentes par rapport a ce lieu, reconnaissantes de l'histoire et ecologiquement responsables.

Such a concept (montainity) making it easier to understand and transform the reality of mountain life, by adding a concern for quality in its management. Does architecture contribute to giving character to mountain areas? what part does it play in relationships between man and mountain ? can it improve their relationships ? is mountainity a better environment in which privileged relationships between man an mountain operate ? such problematics are confirmed by three places, sited in the north of the alps, in haute-savoie where three sets of actors and of intentions, three histories can be studied, thus covering a meaningful period of the evolution of the mountain, from pre-touristic times, until the fitted-in winter resort. By carfully looking into the proceedings of architecture in-keeping with the site, and by abalysing the objects built, from an architecturological an semiotic point of view, one shows that mountainity is the specific character of a site, where relevant social practices connected with the site, grateful to history and ecolocically responsible, are manifested.

El proyecto se ubicará en Villa María del Triunfo y será de carácter público distrital. Tendrá una vocación catalogada como “Deporte para TODOS”, la cual es una iniciativa de carácter social que tiene el fin de llegar a los usuarios de todas las edades dentro del radio de influencia.
Por otro lado, se enfocará los usos hacia el deporte de masificación, recreacional, formativo y competitivo en una categoría no federada.
Por último, también se aprovechará la flexibilidad de los pabellones deportivos y espacios públicos al aire libre, para albergar otros usos compatibles con el deporte y que pueden generar un mayor aporte a la vida comunitaria de la zona.The present research and architectural project search the application of the theory of blurring limits proposed by the architect Toyo Ito, in sport architecture typology, which has been called “Sport Centre”. The objective is to counter the current situation of this type in Peru, which has a predisposition to place physical urban limits that are disconnected from the environment. For this, it searches to generate interior-exterior connection through the blurring limit concept public spaces and different degrees of permeability in the structure, spatial, form and functionality from the building. The project will be in Villa María del Triunfo and will be of a public and district category. It will be cataloged as “Sport for all”. This is a social initiative that has the objective to reach users of all ages into the influence radius. On the other hand, the sports will be focused on massification, recreational, training and competitive sports in a non-federated category. Finally, the flexibility of the sport halls and public outdoor spaces will allow for the other uses that are compatible with sport, generating a greater contribution to the community of the area.

Using as a springboard the forthcoming development of Nacka into an urban cityscape, I aim to investigate the challenges and possibilities of designing and integrating a public building in this new context. My thesis project is a proposal for a new Aquatics Arena in central Nacka. The questions I have worked with all begin with the task of designing for the programme in accordance with the future environment, and producing value beyond the building itself. I have worked with a topographical concept. The main spaces are lowered into the ground and the sloping roofs have windows to allow desired daylight conditions. Besides the essential function an arena the programme is extended with spaces for a gym and health practitioners. The Aquatics Arena is accompanied by direct connections to a public space and elevators leading to a new subway station. The idea is to achieve a symbiosis between the three public entities and making the arena a civics centre in the growing city.Genom att använda den kommande utvecklingen i Nacka mot en urban stadsbild som språngbräda vill jag undersöka de utmaningar och möjligheter som det innebär när man gestaltar och integrerar en publik byggnad i en ny kontext. Mitt examensarbete är ett förslag till en ny simarena i centrala Nacka. Frågorna som jag har jobbat med har alla sin grund i att utforma för programmet och den framtida miljön, att skapa mervärde utöver byggnadens egna värden. Jag har arbetat med ett topografiskt koncept. De viktigaste rummen är nedsänkta i marken och de sluttande taken har takfönster som ska tillåta önskade dagsljusförhållanden. Utöver de grundläggande funktionerna som simarena är programmet utökat med rum för en träningsanläggning och hyrbara rum för hälso- och friskvårds praktiker. Simarenan ligger i direkt anslutning till en publik plats och hisskoppling till en ny tunnelbanestation i centrala Nacka. Tanken är att de tre publika funktionerna ska fungera i symbios och utgöra ett medborgarcentrum i den nya, växande staden.

El Centro de Alto Rendimiento de Fútbol en Cusco (CARF), es un proyecto que nace a partir de mi pasión y gusto por dicho deporte. Este centro deportivo está diseñado para albergar a jóvenes futbolistas de alto nivel de toda la región sur del Perú. El objetivo principal se centra en el uso de la Arquitectura Sensorial (colores, texturas, patrones de diseño) para lograr el diseño de espacios que generen estímulos y sensaciones positivas en el atleta. A su vez este albergue deportivo busca cubrir las necesidades básicas de los atletas (entrenamiento, atención médica, alimentación, hospedaje y apoyo educacional) para que estos puedan rendir adecuadamente y explotar su máximo potencial. Como objetivo secundario, este proyecto busca fortalecer la identidad cultural de los usuarios y habitantes de la zona. Además de contener todas los espacios necesarios de un CARF, se añadió algunos espacios comunitarios para uso de la población.
Este centro deportivo se ubica en una ambiente tranquilo y natural, a las afueras de la zona urbana de la ciudad, para una mayor concentración del atleta. Además, las condiciones climáticas de la zona son favorables para el desarrollo físico del deportista.
El proyecto colinda hacia el norte con la zona urbana, ubicando los ambientes más públicos en esa zona. Hacia el sur, el proyecto colinda con un ambiente más natural (río, vegetación, montañas), por lo que los espacios deportivos, habitaciones y estar general se ubican de cara a estas áreas.The High-Performance Soccer Center in Cusco is a project that was born from my passion and love for this sport. This sports center is designed to house high-level young soccer players from the entire southern region of Peru. The main objective is focused on the use of Sensory Design (colors, textures, design patterns) to achieve the design of spaces that generate stimuli and positive feelings in the athlete. This sports hostel seeks to cover the basic needs of athletes (training, medical care, food, lodging and educational support) so that they can perform adequately and exploit their full potential. As a secondary objective, this project seeks to strengthen the cultural identity of the users and inhabitants of the area. In addition to containing all the necessary spaces of a CARF, some community spaces were added for the use of the population. This sports center is located in a calm and natural environment, on the outskirts of the urban area of the city, for a greater concentration of the athlete. In addition, the climatic conditions of the area are favourable for the physical development of the athlete. The project borders to the north with the urban area, locating the most public environments in that area. Towards the south, the project adjoins a more natural environment (river, vegetation, mountains), so that the sports spaces, rooms, and general living are located facing these areas.

Purpose: To compare muscle architecture variables between sport and sex in competitive athletes, and to compare muscle architecture with performance variables in strong versus weak athletes, and good versus poor jumpers. Methods: The vastus lateralis (VL) and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscles of 139 collegiate athletes were collected using ultrasonography to determine muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA), fascicle length (FL), and relative fascicle length (FLrel). Absolute and relative peak power, absolute and relative isometric peak force, and jump height were measured in a subset of baseball and soccer athletes. A 5x2 factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to investigate differences in group means between sex and sport for muscle architecture variables in the larger cohort. A 2x2 factorial ANOVA was used in the in the smaller cohort to investigate differences between strong and weak athletes, and good and poor jumpers. Results: Significant main effects were observed for sex in VL muscle thickness (MT), VL pennation angle (PA), LG MT, and LG fascicle length (FL). Significant main effects were observed for sport in VL MT, VL FL, VL relative fascicle length (FLrel) and LG MT. Significant interaction effects were observed for LG PA and LG FLrel. Muscle architecture profiles were significantly different between strong and weak, and good and poor jumpers in baseball, but not soccer athletes. Soccer athletes had greater PA but smaller FL than baseball athletes. Conclusions: Muscle architecture may play a role in sport selection, undergoes directed adaptation to sport specific training demands, and may differentiate between high and low performers in more anaerobic athletes. Males had greater muscle thickness than females. Patterns of PA and FL values between sport and sex differed between VL and LG. More aerobic athletes such as soccer athletes may have greater VL PA and smaller VL FL than more anaerobic athletes such as baseball athletes.

Full textAbstract:
Infrastructure continues to perpetuate the effects of splintering urbanism in South African cities. Where apartheid planning policies such as the group areas act used infrastructure as a mechanism of social organisation, this design dissertation proposes using architecture as social infrastructure to transcend these sociotechnical divides. The concept of the sociotechnical denotes the synergy of a city's infrastructural systems and its social life. In this design dissertation this idea is explored at various scales: at the urban level, through a development strategy that spatialises unsafe public open land; at the architectural scale, through surface articulation and interfacing with urban infrastructure; and at the technical level, through building performance analysis and technical design development in support of architectural goals. The project uses a distributed programme that stretches across communities in order to socialise the existing urban infrastructure of a pedestrian bridge. By leveraging the social significance of a local football club, the project proposes a social programme around the idea of a football clubhouse as a programmatic anchor. In reacting to urban infrastructure, the idea of imageability and presence are important considerations. These concepts enable youth to positively engage with the architecture, and allows the building to convey its purpose and programmatic intent, thereby creating a strong social interface with its users. Sociotechnical architecture is considered as an urban armature that socialises and spatialises urban infrastructure. The architecture therefore seeks the minimal amount of fixity to support a variety of flexible events surrounding sports and recreation activities. This is achieved through a selection of robust materials used in horizontal surfaces of social purpose, and the combination of structure, materiality and geometry to create a series of vertical surfaces of social presence and architectural imageability. The result is a strategic arrangement of architectural interventions deployed across a large urban scheme. By distributing the architecture across urban infrastructure, the project connects two communities and presents an architectural response to splintering urbanism.
