One of the fundamental truths of life is that an individual cannot achieve their desired goals without effort and self-improvement. Inspired by knights, I chose to reflect on the resilience of the athlete's spirit, as warriors of the past did not shy away from challenges. Struggling in their steel armor, they boldly forged ahead towards their dreams and a brighter future. It is important to remember that any location always has multiple routes leading to it; however, each of these routes presents its own difficulties and unique journey. Similarly, in my design for the Sports and Recreation Complex, individuals have the opportunity to choose their own personalized path to the accessible roof area. Drawing inspiration from the image of old, partially ruined castles, I aimed to convey the resilience and monumentality of these structures by designing my object as a series of multi-level ruins, creating several functional zones interconnected by staircases. Each person's task is to select the route they can master. You may not be a champion, but conquering oneself already makes you a hero in your own eyes.
