캠버스 내 새롭게 설계된 스포츠 컴플렉스 시설
좋은 건축작업은 공공교육과 운동영역을 일상생활에서 훌륭히 접목 시킵니다.
또한 이러한 가능성은 대지 주변의 컨텍스트를 이해하고 활용함으로써
프로그램 접목을 보다 쉽게 넓은 방향으로 만들어 줍니다.
이러한 연장선상에서 캠퍼스내 트랙경기장에 새롭게 계획된 스탠드와
프레스 박스는 교내로 지역사회의 커뮤니티를 유입시키는 중요한 구심점으로
로컬 복합문화공간이 됩니다.
그리고 레드컬러의 세련된 이미지는 활동적인 운동에너지를 담고 있는 스포츠시설의
캐릭터를 구체화하는 디자인 수단으로 활용되며 컨셉을 정의합니다.
우리나라에서 공공연하게 자행되는 지방자치단체들의 무분별한
대규모 경기장보다 이와같이 지역사회를 통합하는 균형감있는
계획이 필요합니다. 세금덩어리로 전락해 버린 지방 체육시설들이 허다합니다.

The Green Forest Athletic Complex reshapes the vision of thissmall
public school district’s athletic program with sleek color and form.
Located to the south of the previously designed modern middle school,
the new stands and press box continue the proportions and aesthetic which
have become very identifiable sources of community pride within the
Green Forest Public Schools Campus. By establishing a clear processional
entry, the pulse of the athletic program is captured in a manner
complimentaryto the fervor that sporting events demand in small southern
public school realms.
This project redefines the athletic/academic edge of the campus and
acts as a positive threshold for the multiple events and activities that
take place on the site; An under-bleacher terrace offers space for
fundraising and community activities that support the home team.The new
design sports much-needed service facilities while the enlarged track,
new stadium lighting and re-graded football field elevate the
competitive game-play and hosting capabilities of the district.

Uncomplicated design decisions capture and invigorate this rural
community. The ongoing work on this campus is a tangible sign that good
architecture can positively enhance the everyday expectations in the
realm of public education and athletics. Sustainability is inherently
found in providing a project that is embraced by those who use it in the
present and in the years to come.
