Brief About The Project: 

This project believes in the power of performance and its effect on societies. Questioning the stadiums' typology which serve as large monumental buildings that act as abandoned containers within the city, the moment of sports is used to bring the architecture of sports closer to society. This complex, through its cultural activity, can be a key enhancer of the sport event experience that will revitalize Port Said. How can a building perform and how can we perform around a building? Through the users' designed movement inside the building, they move from being spectators to performers as well.
