INTRODUCTION

The enthusiasm of sports in the Philippines is incomparable. Filipinos are avid sports
fans, whether they are active participants or merely observers. Isabela, most populated
among the five provinces in Cagayan Valley has the potential to improve certain areas of the
city's reputation, to meet the needs of public places without consuming new space, to repair
the harm caused by urban sprawl with quality measures, to generate significant economic
impacts through the effects triggered by investments.

The Cauayan City Isabela Sport Complex is currently a 6,000-seating capacity

Grandstand and Track Oval mostly used by various schools and organizations. In addition to
the current sections, the sport complex has the capacity to accommodate extra sports
facilities. Sustainable design approach when building or redeveloping the facility is one
means of improving its value in a sustainable and innovative way. This approach allows for
the development of more facilities while sustainably maximizing the use of the land.

The facility will encourage the merging of social, cultural, and economic communities
across the city. It will offer a more effective and useful infrastructure for multipurpose sports
facilities for competitions and training sessions. Sustainability and development of the
country’s most embraced sports is one of the necessities for the nation to gain international
recognition. The heart and soul of a community are indeed the sports and arts.
II. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The appreciation of sports in the Philippines is unmatched. Filipinos are avid sports
fans, whether they are active participants or merely observers. When a Filipino athlete or
team is competing for victory, the entire nation supports them on. It merely demonstrates
how sports achievement generates a wide range of chances, extracts fame for the nation,
and also reveals the athlete's passion, which unites the hearts of people from that nation.
Philippine Sports Development is given a significant portion of the Fund, which demonstrates
how much the recreational activities occur in the country.

Cauayan Isabela, a city that offers a wide range of youth- and society events and
facilities needed more structures that can nurture their abilities and encourage health and
wellness. The Cauayan Isabela sport complex is currently a 6,000-seating capacity
Grandstand and Track Oval mostly used by various schools and organizations engage in
different sports.

The majority of sports facilities in our nation today have numerous issues with the
accommodations for athletes. For the purpose of producing net tourism revenue. The nation
must have a sports facility with substantial and sufficient space. The Cauayan Isabela sport
complex primary issue is the lack of other facilities at the sport complex and came up with
the solution for redevelopment by functionally and sustainably maximizing the land.

A city can successfully implement urban redevelopment when it is aware of use of

available space and the potential for creating social condensers that connect various social
classes. Sustainability and development of the country’s most embraced sports is one of the
necessities for the nation to gain international recognition. Sports and arts, are the lifeblood
and soul of a nation. In response to this, this research aims to provide design solutions for
facilities, courts and other amenities to give players, spectators, staff and others the best
experience possible.
IV. DESIGN CONCEPT:

Sustainable architectural design approach

The sustainable approach has become one of the most popular architectural
concepts in the past decade. Everyone desires a green, environmentally friendly building.
And in order to do that, sustainable design must be used from the outset.

A sustainable architectural strategy entails creating structures that have a minimal

negative environmental impact as possible. This may entail everything from using
sustainable energy sources to where buildings are placed. Overall, it makes the buildings as
environmentally friendly as possible.

Sustainable architecture can also be developed in appearance as a filter to redefine

internal and external spatial relations, introduce new views for internal space and public
space (external) and allow a series of gaps to break down building masses for sunlight
penetration and ventilation or for sun insulation and absorption air pollutants.

Sustainable architecture is an architecture that seeks to minimize the negative

environmental impacts of buildings with efficiency and moderation in the use of materials,
energy, and development space. Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to
energy conservation and ecology in the design of the built environment. The idea of
sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not
impede the opportunities of future generations. As a result, sustainable architecture that will
incorporate includes the following principles:

Reducing consumption of non-renewable resources.

Beautify the natural environment.

Discard or reduce the use of toxic materials.

Whereas sustainable buildings can be defined as buildings that have minimal negative
impacts on the built and natural environment, in terms of the building itself, its immediate
environment and broader regional and global arrangements. Furthermore, the goals for
sustainable building that will incorporate for the redevelopment on the sport complex can be
defined as:

Energy efficiency- including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions

Pollution prevention; including indoor air quality and noise reduction

Harmonization with the environment; including environmental assessment

 An integrated and systematic approach; including environmental management
systems.

V. DESIGN ILLUSTRATION:

VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN:

PRINCIPLES OF FORM AND DESIGN

GESTALT PRINCIPLES OF GROUPING

ADJACENT SPACE:

Adjacency allows each space to be clearly defined and to respond to specific functional or
symbolic requirements. And the amount of continuity that takes place between two spaces
depends on the characteristics of the plane that separates and brings them together at the
same time.

ORGANIZATIONAL APPROACH

Radial organizations are effectively a combination of linear and centralized organizations.

They have a central focal point from which linear forms radiate from. Expansion in the radial
organization is towards the exterior surroundings.
ARRANGEMENT OF SPACES

According to use spaces are arranged according to the level of use and/or users.
