SITE ZONES

Plan the ground as connected operating zones.

The purpose is to expose interfaces early: players, spectators, lighting, maintenance, buildings and arrival all compete for space around the same field.

01

Competition field

Main match field, run-offs, technical areas, maintenance access and certification/testing interfaces.

02

Grandstand side

Higher-capacity seating, accessible viewing, cover, hospitality-ready circulation and egress.

03

Players & officials

Changing, officials, medical, warm-up, secure arrival and team movement.

04

Venue technology

FÍSVOR main display, HLJÓÐ audio/control, camera positions, power/data and event systems.

05

Public arrival

Ticketing/entry interfaces, paths, wayfinding, public realm, bicycle parking and crowd distribution.

06

Performance & support

TORVYR training, storage, maintenance, administration and optional secondary/warm-up field.

SYSTEM STATUS

Core, optional and project-specific layers.

This keeps the package complete without forcing every venue to buy every module.
