| ANO LIOSSIA ATTICA WRESTLING INDOOR HALL Dear colleagues, congressmen, ladies and gentlemen, Today, as a representative and coordinator of the collaborated companies, I have the honor to present the design of the Olympic Project "ANO LIOSSIA ATTICA WRESTLING INDOOR HALL" The project was elaborated from the cooperative companies: Architects: MOLFESIS � GENIAS AND ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS � URBAN PLANNERS S.A. Civil engineers: K. MYLONAS � K. KARGAKOS & ASSOCIATES Co Mechanical engineers: E. VAGIANOS K. KELEMENIS A. KOKKINOPOULOS AND ASSOCIATES Co Landscape architect: ZAHAROPOULOS ZAHARIAS Traffic and transportation engineer: PARASKEVOPOULOS PANAGIOTIS NIKOLAOS The architectural project was designed from the architects Gerasimos Molfesis and Gregory Genias. Basically, the hall was designed exclusively for the performance of wrestling offering 5000 seats. In accordance with the requirements of ATHENS 2004, GENERAL SECRETARIAT OF SPORTS, INTERNATIONAL FEDERATIONS OF WRESTLING AND JUDO, and in cooperation with them, the capacity of the hall was increased from 5000 to 8000 seats. The capacity of the spectators was increased (because of the special specifications of JUDO federation) and as a result changes have occurred to the design of the project. The areas that will be vacant after the removal of the additional portable seats after the Olympic Games 2004 will be used as free areas for cultural activities. The project concerns the construction of an indoor hall at the municipality of Ano Liossia, located in an area of about 65.000m , which is excluded from the town-planning program. The actual built area is 15.031,87m and 45.629,80m is the structured area. The budget of the final stage of the project is 58.694.000,00�. The General Support Plan has defined the location as an appropriate area for athletic uses. The Athletic center and the public stadium of Ano Liossia Municipality are located next to the hall. HALL MORPHOLOGY The trapezoid shaped hall next to Attica Road Bridge and Aigaleo peripheral road, located amongst Vosporou, Ellispontou, Artakis and Trapezountas streets. The hall seems to be almost, with 7.5m. height difference (177.00 � 184.50) from North to South in about 300m. length (leaning 2,5%). At the route of the Eastern side of the hall from North to South, an open dry ravine is parallel to the building line and in accordance to the design is covered and included in the available building area of the hall. The placement of the hall occurred from the need to keep the structural members 50m away from the ravine shore. The east side of the hall is a satisfaction area for public circulation as well as the other side, where room is created for vehicle circulation and parking. SURROUNDING AREA The construction of the Exterior area of the hall includes the parking areas for spectators� vehicles, buses, security V.I.P. vehicles, journalists, and the vehicle entrances to the north and south side of the hall. The surrounding formation includes scales and ramps that lead the public to +11.20 level (spectators entrance), flowerbeds formation and areas covered with various surfaces etc. CONSTRUCTION � MATERIAL OF THE BUILDING It was decided that the building would be constructed with reinforced concrete and the roofing would be of a steel structure. The choice of reinforced concrete was made because the greater part of the building lies below the surface of the surrounding area while and the choice of a steel structure for the roofing was due to large spans and the special architectural shape of the Hall�s roof. The roof is mainly supported with elastometallic bearings on 4 elliptical reinforced concrete pylons in distances of 42.00x72.00 m and secondary on peripheral steel columns. The roof is covered with trapezoid shaped steel sheets, on which the insulating materials were placed and on top of that the finishing which was also of trapezoid shaped steel sheets. Special constructions were used for the cover of the roof. The Hall was constructed near the seismic fault of Parnitha that gave the earthquake in Athens, in September 1999. In the design of the project a very high seismic factor was assumed which was the outcome of a special seismic study. The Hall was founded on the rocky base of the area by means of a special study and design. MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONS � BASICS The Mechanical and Electrical Installations have been designed in accordance with the specifications and standards of the International Federations for the Olympic Games and also taken into account the specific requirements of the �Athens 2004� Committee. The Air Conditioning of the Hall has been designed so that sufficient air circulation is ensured and thermal stratification due to high elevations avoided. Provision was also made for a lesser number of Air Handling Units to be in use in cases of events with limited audience, without a compromise in comfort indoor conditions. Air ducts have been designed to pass through the ceiling grid so that the available height of the Hall is not reduced. In order to ensure that the design is functional and constructible in its very detail and fully comprehended by the contractor, all the above have also been designed in 3-Dimensional drawings. CONSTRUCTION The hall was constructed from the company J & P � AVAX under the supervision of SPECIAL SERVICES OF PUBLIC CONSTRUCTIONS / OLYMPIC ATHLETIC VENUES AND INSTALLATIONS. |
