Project Profile - M.P. State Shooting Academy

15-Oct-2010

Located on the outskirts of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh; the project involves the creation of a world class shooting academy for the Ministry of Sports & Youth Welfare. The academy comprises of three individual ranges; 10m, 25m , 50m and a twin set of trap and skeet ranges. The project was divided in two phases; with 50m shooting rangeand the twin trap and skeet ranges to be completed in the first phase by 2009 and the rest of the project by 2011. The concept was derived from the dynamics of undulating site and the functionality. Instead of creating oblivious blocks for various ranges, the design team decided to create a flow of dynamic forms which merge, shootout and explode thereby creating a flow that tries to recreate the force field created by a shooting bullet from the pistol to the target.
