- Abstract
in the 21st century, the need for effectiveness and flexibility in any activity is a necessity that must be fulfilled so that people can compete well. One of the examples is sports. The need, especially in sports, is marked by the growth of interest in sports in developed or developing countries. Besides, to fulfill the need for effectiveness and flexibility, architecture continues to innovate by creating a space that can accommodate the needs of people’s lifestyles in the 21st century. Sports Hub is a sports destination consisting of the sports center and support facilities such as commercial centers, retails, and communal spaces. Sports Hub has a structured arrangement of interconnected spaces so that users can easily access various kinds of facilities in the building. Singapore, which is categorized as a developed country in Southeast Asia, has an Olympic-scale sports hub that can accommodate various types of events, such as Olympic games, music concerts, national events, etc. the Singapore Sports Hub located in Kallang, which was built in 2014. Based on observation, Singapore Sports Hub has applied High-tech architecture principles, such as by exposing the interior and structure (inside out), the use of transparent materials on the roof cover, and has inner space and outer space that can be functioned for certain occasions (flexible space). For these facts, this study aims to find out the maximum and effective use of the High-tech architecture principles in Singapore Sports Hub. To study and explore the building, this study used a qualitative method that is sourced from secondary data such as printed and electronic literature. The object of observation is reviewed by high-tech architecture principles so that the tentative conclusions can be obtained through aligning both data. Conclusions are drawn based on the number of aspects that fulfilled the High-tech architecture criteria. The objects are assessed by using the principles of High-tech architecture, such as; block plan (building mass), site plan (outdoor space), floor plan (indoor space), structure, material, and façade. Based on data and analysis, it has been acquired that the application of the High-tech architecture principles of Singapore Sports Hub in Kallang, Singapore, has applied six out of seven principles of High-tech architecture optimally, specifically: 1. Inside out, 2. Celebration of process, 3. Transparent, coating and movement, 4. Lightweight and tensile structure, 5. Optimistic in scientific culture, 6. Flexible space.
