Basrah Sports City is a multi-phase, multi-venue, mixed-use complex planned for the Iraqi port city of Basrah. The

project’s goal is to develop facilities and support structure that will enable the training and growth of sport in the

Republic of Iraq.

Phase I of the project, with an estimated cost of approximately $500 million US, features a 65,000-seat stadium and a

10,000-seat secondary stadium/practice facility each designed to international standards. It also includes: four training

fi elds; athlete housing and spa facilities; a VIP guest house; fi restation; sports medicine building; event parking; helipad;

and site development of approximately half of the 146-hectare compound.

Phase two of the project, which is anticipated to be larger in scope and budget, is expected to include: three smaller

multi-use arenas; a full natatorium; a tennis stadium; velodrome; mosque; amusement park/gardens; athletic training

facilities to accommodate volleyball, basketball, boxing, weightlifting, fencing, martial arts, wrestling, equestrian, crew,

skating, shooting and gymnastics; and housing, restaurant and retail components.

When complete, Basrah Sport City will be the largest sports facility that Iraq has ever built. Phase one is also the

largest project in the country since the new Iraqi state was established. The design concept provides a modern, world-

class complex that also draws upon and refl ects architectural styles and concepts used for centuries in Basrah,

demonstrating sensitivity to the cultural, religious and environmental contexts of the region.

Selected as lead designer for the new Meadowlands Stadium, 360 Architecture, with EwingCole, will

deliver a home facility to both the National Football League’s New York Giants and Jets. The master

plan was presented in December 2005, and initial plans are for a 2010 opening.

The preliminary master plan places the new complex between the existing stadium and the

nearby Meadowlands racetrack, with links to a retail complex, new rail station, and the Xanadu

entertainment and retail complex now under construction near the Continental Arena. The goalposts

will be near the northern and southern ends of the stadium, as opposed to the current east-west

confi guration, and will include an atrium, a football hall of fame, team stores, restaurants and

conference space. The complex is slated to have as many as 200 luxury suites.

In addition to the stadium, the Giants will build a practice facility and headquarters in the extreme

western parking lot of the sports complex. Upon the completion of the 2.1-million- square-foot

stadium, the teams plan to build a 520,000-square-foot “ancillary component” that would feature

“the best of sports, entertainment, retail, sports medicine, health and fi tness, and sponsorship and

broadcast opportunities.”

Selected by Auburn University to provide architectural and interior design services for

a new basketball arena, 360 Architecture created a design to fulfi ll two critical campus

planning goals. The design links the arena with a high-traffi c campus corridor and the

university’s famed Jordan-Hare football stadium, helping to create a vital new center

of activity on the campus. In essence, though, the arena is all about tradition. While

respecting the past, it is designed to inspire new experiences that will add to Auburn’s

storied heritage.

Inside, the arena is designed to maximize the fan experience by providing a proximity to

the court rarely seen in athletic facilities. Another unique feature to the arena design is

the vertical arrangement of premium spaces. This allows patrons to enjoy the game and

also see and experience the environment outside from a variety of levels. The design con-

cept, termed the “southern porch,” refl ects and honors Auburn’s cultural environment.

Overall, the arena addresses the project’s critical elements for success by:

+ Refl ecting and extending Auburn University’s dominant architectural themes

+ Establishing a prominent presence for the arena

+ Complementing the communal attributes of the campus

+ Delivering state-of-the-art intimacy in a facility that is “uniquely Auburn”

360 Architecture was selected to create a unique ballpark that would have a different character and fan experience from the

other ballparks around the league. 360 was chosen to lead the design team due to demonstrated creativity, unique approach,

and extensive experience in a range of venues across the nation.

The ballpark and village will be developed on a 143-acre parcel in the City of Fremont. Groundbreaking for the baseball-only

facility, to be named Cisco Field, will start when the project gains approval from the City of Fremont, Alameda County and

other government agencies. The estimated cost for the ballpark is in the $400 million to $500 million range.

“Cisco Field is envisioned as more than a neighborhood ballpark. It will be the centerpiece of an entire new village,” said Brad

Schrock, Lead Designer and Principal at 360 Architecture. “Our design will seamlessly integrate the ballpark’s interior space

with the community and its activities. Likewise, the energy and communal spirit from the fi eld will fl ow throughout the village.”

While providing an intimate and compelling baseball experience, the ballpark is planned to be the most technologically

advanced sports facility in the nation. Innovations such as interactive kiosks and the ability to order concessions, even instant

replays, from fans’ seats promises to raise the experience of seeing a game to a new level of enjoyment and convenience.

As well as being fan friendly, the stadium is environmentally friendly by making use of

a blighted urban Brownfi eld site, reducing heat island effect, recycling more than 50

percent of construction waste and using regional materials for construction.

The placement of Huntington Park and its open concourse create a visual connection

Located in downtown Columbus, Nationwide Arena is a landmark building

for the city and a catalyst for a 160-acre urban renewal and new develop-

The arena’s design is derived from its convergence of city grids and strong

industrial context. Open concourses allow views, both to the seating bowl

and the surrounding Arena District, recalling traditional open-air ballpark

design. Glass is used in conjunction with brick and steel to preserve the

Arena District’s context. The seating bowl offers unique sponsorship op-

portunities to the NHL’s Blue Jackets by introducing two “media” towers

sponsored by FOX Sports and The Columbus Dispatch news media. The two

towers are created by four levels of vertically-stacked group sales suites

and give Nationwide Arena a “one of a kind” identity. This arena imple-

ments several other new premium seating concepts. There are 54 suites

intermixed with 26 loge boxes, and 500 rink-side lounge seats, to better

serve the marketplace.

Nationwide Arena also houses a smaller ice rink called the Dispatch Ice-

Haus (formerly named the CoreComm IceHaus). This facility serves as the

practice rink for the Blue Jackets and is also used for youth hockey games

and open skating times for the public. This facility makes Nationwide Arena

the first NHL arena with an on-site practice facility and one of only two such

facilities in NHL.

Designed by 360 Architecture, the Nationwide Arena served as a catalyst for the overall

resurgence of downtown Columbus. Since its successful opening in September of 2000,

numerous spawn projects have surfaced, all carefully considered within the urban plan for

this particular setting. To date, 360 Architecture has provided planning and design services

for the Arena District Multi-Use Offi ce Buildings, Arena Grand Theatre, Promowest Pavilion

Amphitheater, Ludlow Alley residential and retail spaces, Multi-Family Housing Project and

the Arena Crossing Lofts.

The Multi-Use Offi ce Buildings, located in a new dense urban block adjacent to the Nationwide

Arena, consist of three buildings totalling more than 300,000 square feet of offi ce and retail

space. They surround the block in the foreground of the Arena Grand Theatre. During the

master planning of the entire block, 360 Architecture carved pedestrian ways through the area

allocated for commercial use, defi ning separate buildings and providing access to the cinema.

The pedestrian ways are based on existing city grids and a strong visual, energetic connection

to the Arena and Theatre. Though distinct in their design, the buildings share a strong

industrial reference to warehouse structures that dominate the landscape. Detailing and form

of all of these projects emphasizes simplicity, with large rhythmic windows and tall ceilings,

creating a quality of space not commonly found in newly developed leasable space, whether

intended for residential, retail or offi ces.

overall aesthetics. The centerpiece of the renovation, the 18,500 s.f. conference center,

consolidates the offi ce’s reception and public meeting spaces and incorporates state-of-the-art

technology, fl exible spaces for videoconferencing, mock trials, arbitration, mediation and other

client-related functions. The consolidation created premium space that not only shows Lathrop &

Gage’s commitment to quality, it also supports new talent recruitment and retention.

The conference center’s vistas are extraordinarily expansive, extending mostly unobstructed from

deep within the fl oorplate to the exposed windows and sweeping from one end of the building to

the other. Pockets of furniture and lighting create intimacy, and the use of African redwood, Italian

travertine and bronze detail adds warmth, resulting in a classic, elegant visage that complements

the Mies van der Rohe-designed building.
