With serving Jiading’s citizens and campus students as its main intention, it is critical for the 12,000 sqm sports center to project an image of welcoming place, and to be able to serve multiple functions. The forceful image of traditional Sports Architecture as an attraction that is bustle with activity and energy only during and after sports events should be swapped as a catalyst for enlivening the neighborhood and the surrounding area during all times of the day.
The design also ushers the concept of Ecological Architecture by unifying all venues through a central “valley”; naturally, the “valley”generates and encourages a multi-level, and layering of activities within the plaza while still acting as a focal point and streamlining all of the actions. The porous geometry of the valley creates multiple and flexible spatial conditions which promotes the diversity of cultural , economic, and civic activities that can transpire not only within the Jiading Sports Center, but also beyond.
