SUPREME SIKH SOCIETY OF NZ
The Supreme Sikh Society of New Zealand has been actively engaged in various community projects, striving towards a common vision and goal. Over the past few years, they have successfully completed significant initiatives, including the Sikh Heritage School, Childz Choice Preschool, a Gurdwara, and international-level sports fields. Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the society played a crucial role in supporting those in need by providing food parcels and essential services. Their dedication and impact on the community led them to be honored with the prestigious 2020 People's Choice NZ Food Heroes Award, among 340 nominated organisations. This recognition by Hon Dr Megan Woods and Anahila Kanongata'a-Suisuiki in the House further acknowledged their commendable efforts during the COVID-19 lockdown period.
NEW ZEALAND SIKH SPORTS COMPLEX
The New Zealand Sikh Sports Complex, situated on an 8.6-acre land that was once a farm filled with clay and rocks, stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Sikh community. Members of the community transformed the rough terrain into a flat, usable surface by hand-picking rocks and selfless service. Initially hosting popular sports like Kabaddi, Football, Volleyball, and Tug of War, the complex evolved to meet the demands of the growing population in South Auckland and their interest in other sports. The subsequent decision to rebuild the grounds into a world-class sports facility was a pivotal step towards their goal.
The sports complex now includes an impressive array of amenities, including a natural grass Kabaddi field, FIFA approved Football field, Hockey field, 4x 100m Sprint tracks, Netball Court, Basketball Court, 2x Cricket Nets, Changing Rooms, and a Café. The most recent addition to the NZSSCT is the grandstand seating for Kabaddi, accommodating 2500 spectators, making it the first stadium of its kind outside of India.
VALUE OF ARCHITECTURAL VISUALISATION
To showcase the grandeur of the New Zealand Sikh Sports Complex and engage audiences worldwide, the use of architectural visualisation played a crucial role. Through a meticulous process involving modeling, lighting, texturing, and rendering, a life-like 3D model of the stadium, the Gurdwara (Temple) complex and surrounding natural environment was created. These visually stunning renders accurately showcased the final outcome of the project, providing more value to clients, community leaders, important Sikh members, and sports stars.
The architectural renders of the NZSSCT Kabaddi Stadium allowed the society to present the project's progress and vision to a global audience. They utilised these impressive visualisations on invitations to leaders, Sikh community members, and sports stars, providing a professional showcase of their endeavors. By portraying the stadium's features and facilities through renders, the Supreme Sikh Society demonstrated their commitment to creating a world-class sports facility.
The renders of the New Zealand Sikh Sports Complex were also strategically employed on social media platforms. The historically significant aspect of being the first stadium of its kind outside of India garnered immense attention and interest worldwide. Social media served as a powerful tool to disseminate these captivating visuals, creating awareness and excitement among sports enthusiasts and the Sikh community globally. The renders not only showcased the stadium's physical attributes but also conveyed the strong spirit and dedication of the Supreme Sikh Society of New Zealand in building a sporting hub that unites people from diverse backgrounds.
