From Play to Shelter: The Many Roles of Small-Scale Community Sports Halls
Briefly

Sports halls serve dual roles in community life; large venues host international events, while small multi-purpose halls, often linked to schools in rural areas, become vital public spaces. These smaller sports halls accommodate a variety of activities, from sports to community gatherings, becoming essential in neighborhoods where they function as the largest indoor public spaces. Their design needs to balance appearance with utility, ensuring they fit well into urban settings while remaining accessible to all residents, enhancing community engagement and social interaction.
Despite the often-understated presence, these venues embrace and expand their multi-purpose role by offering opportunities to play, connect, organize events, and support diverse community activities.
Designing such venues involves negotiating between limited resources, functional requirements, and the need to create a representative image.
