NEGOTIATING WITH A FIGHTER IN INTIMATE SPACES

by Adnan Khan

The fight House transforms a traditional fight setting that is often typologically landscape, into a series of vertical arenas that is spectated in a beehive fashion by the public through cut openings and rooftop terrace, glimpses from the hotel and the main spectators stands that is hybridised with a casino. The beehive like arena has a center squeeze point that creates an intimate relationship with the audience and then spreads afar but vertically to avoid too much distance and to create a unique plan view of the performance. The vertical arena is connected with a pre-fight area on the ground floor and post-fight clout bathhouse for investments and business negotiations in a iced or steamed hot bath.
