Motorsport District - Urbanizing Speed Through Architecture & Experience.

Abstract

This thesis proposes a Motorsport District in Bangalore that brings together a full FIA Grade-1 Formula One racing circuit with a dedicated MotoGP Museum and Experience Centre. The project aims to create a world-class motorsport destination that combines high-performance racing infrastructure with cultural, educational, and experiential spaces. The MotoGP Museum is designed as an interactive, technology-driven environment where visitors can explore the evolution, engineering, and culture of MotoGP through immersive exhibits and hands-on experiences. Alongside this, the FIA Grade-1 circuit meets the highest international standards, enabling professional racing, training, research, and large-scale events. Architecturally inspired by speed, motion, and the synergy between humans and machines, the district weaves together museum spaces, paddocks, grandstands, and trackside facilities into a unified experience. Within Bangalore’s expanding urban landscape, this Motorsport District is envisioned as a landmark that promotes tourism, innovation, and public engagement—bringing global motorsport culture into the heart of the city
