    As Pitch Architect, my main responsibility is to create, evaluate and configure the pitch to meet the needs of my stakeholders. An integrated approach was used, incorporating three views i.e. technical, infrastructure and operational. Fundamentally, it is the organization of a system that contains components like the grass type, technologies, application, stress management etc., their relationships to each other, and to the National Stadium micro-climate environment including the principles guiding its design e.g. the roof, venue setup, etc. Therefore, the pitch architect put all the above parts together, the technical processes, operating systems and the calendar of events, and designs a multi flooring solution that fits the business providing best experiences.
