Containing Sports and Water 

Upon understanding how to contain sports and water in a building, the section, or profile, assumes a strong role as an organizing device.  In this recreation center proposal, the program is arranged on three stacked planes each defined through specific program needs and surface requirements and organized as water or non-water program.

The building cross section undulates as it is adjusted from one sport to another in oder to meet the specific requirements for each sport and for how much or how little water it needs to hold.
