Area Location Circulation
 The audience
should be no
further than 5 m
from the riding
area.
 The judges' grandstand is
positioned on the west side
of the arena because most
important competitions
take place in the afternoon
and so the sun will be at the
judges' backs.
 Use a spectator
gallery with the first
row for seating and
the second for
standing. Behind this
is room for two rows
of circulating people.
This arrangement will
create 200 seated
and standing places
in a 20 x 40 m arena.

93. PLANNING STANDARDS
FOR SPORTS BUILDINGS

94.  It must be built within an attractive nature, close to the
important streets and secure for that parking lots.
 Putting the main entrance as close to the center of
the earth's façade so that the building blocks can be
mediated to achieve ease of movement and
communication.
 Attention to the main entrance as an aesthetic and as
a control device to enter the club.
 The public door is located on the largest surrounding
streets (noting the work of sub-entrances to enter
individuals or supplies received by the club).
 Movement compatibility with visual vision is one of the
important elements in planning, which is the presence
of a sequence between human movement and visual
vision of the coordination of the blocks and their
relationship to each other.
Planningstandards

95.  The main administrative building of the club is
towards the neighbor's buildings
 The green areas are facing the entry door.
 Consider allowing vertical expansion of all
buildings in general, to allow future ramping on
one or two floors.
 In the afforestation process, trees are considered
to be evergreen, giving shades throughout the
year.
 Trees are placed in gardens and green areas next
to motion pathways, to feed the tracks in
shadows
 Linking site elements to an internal road, at least
for pedestrians
