DESIGN NAME: Growing Sports Park
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sports Park
INSPIRATION: A. Folded land utilization – Maximum of land value
'Folded land utilization' is to properly allocate limited land resource, provide adequate outdoor playground and urban landscaping, and realize the maximum of land value.
B. Integration of architecture, landscape and interior design
C. Green Concept
By integrating 'green' into the entire design system to create an urban green island which is rated as a three-star green building in China.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The contradiction between the space limitation and the huge mass of gymnasium couldn’t be resolved with conventional methods. Taking advantages of the terrain, the designers planned a sunken plaza to create a semi-underground swimming pool.
Trying to make the structure integrated with the space, the designers planned a streamline dynamic building to suit its big volume. It has 3D surfaces, which made the shape quite complicated. 3D modeling method was applied to meet the technical challenges.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design provides a multi-level central courtyard and social space open to the city between stadiums and supporting buildings by focusing on the connection and interaction among functional spaces of stadiums, supporting buildings, outdoor playgrounds, parks and green spaces.
The indoor space is accessible to pedestrians from a central landscape corridor that goes from east to west, while a landscape plaza in the northwest corner guarantees access to a leisure sunken courtyard and swimming pool.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The conceptual design of the project began in 2011, and the technical design development started in the October of 2012.
The project construction began in 2014 and completed in July, 2016, followed by trial operation, on-site adjustment, totally covering a time span of more than 6 years.
The project is located at the center of Xihongmen Town, Daxing District and intersection of Hongfu Road and Xihongmen Bridge of Jingkai Expressway.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: A. Integration of architecture, landscape and interior design
B. Parametric design is employed to deal with complexity of the project. BIM has been integrated into the whole process of design – build – M&O.
C. Structural system: The under-ground structures adopt concrete frames and shear walls, the above-ground buildings use steel frames, covered with grid-structure roofs.
D. Equipment system: Ground source heat pump, solar water heating system, roof and ground rainwater recycling system.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Site dimension: 35893.34 m2 (Including construction area: 23727.85 m2, Building area: 7257.78 m2)
Plot ratio: 0.40
Overall building area: 19966.72 m2
Circulation area: 6494.75 m2
Parking area: 5500 m2
Landscape area: 9492.1 m2

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Green design system: Folded land utilization, Nature-oriented outdoor environment, Sponge type site design, Passive energy saving, Experience-oriented indoor environment.
Outside noise is isolated from tiered green spaces, sunken courtyard; stadiums employ acoustic and dazzle light design; main venues have good visibility to communicate with external environment; CO2 concentration detection system is provided in key areas to help people do sports in a healthy environment.
CHALLENGE: In China, people’s living habits make them hard to actually go outdoors to participate in activities. To say from a sociological perspective, there shall be some 'blank spaces' inside the urban areas. we, as architects, try to provide the possibility of open activities as much as we can. Hopefully it will be a positive guide to the architectural designs.
The designers paid a return visit to the project one year after finishing. What a fulfillment to see many children running on the track.
