THE ACTIVE is a contemporary community sports complex designed as a connected campus for movement. The project brings outdoor fields and indoor training facilities into one clear system supporting daily practice, teaching, and community use.
Rather than treating sports halls as isolated boxes, THE ACTIVE is organized around legible circulation, transparent edges, and social thresholds spaces where people naturally gather before and after activity.

The plan organizes THE ACTIVE as a clear, walkable sports campus where outdoor activity anchors the site and indoor facilities align around it for direct access and efficient operation. At the center, the football field and running track form the primary public ground visible, legible, and easy to navigate. Along the perimeter, the building is structured as two main program bars: a multi-purpose sports hall and an indoor swimming pool hall, positioned to work independently while remaining connected through shared support spaces.

At night the complex becomes a visible, safe landmark. Transparency turns activity into identity and extends community use beyond daytime hours.

The interiors of THE ACTIVE are designed as a shared learning environment: courts, pool, studio, and fitness zones connected by visibility, daylight, and social edges. Together they form a complete ecosystem for movement supporting training, teaching, recovery, and community gathering within one coherent campus.
