Building upon the site's existing functions, the design team conceived a bold idea: elevating the track and field above ground and placing dozens of badminton courts, eight basketball courts, multiple volleyball courts, and tennis courts beneath the structure. This innovative approach not only addresses space limitations but also creates a vast, multifunctional area, enabling the effective integration of sports facilities. To achieve this "elevated" structure, a column span of 19.6 meters was adopted.
The spatial logic was derived by condensing the dimensions of one basketball court, two volleyball courts, and three badminton courts into a unified module. Under these constraints, the structural form of arched Miller beams was selected to support the design. Good architectural design achieves an organic unity between structure, space, and activities, ultimately shaping the overall identity of the building. The entire structure is constructed from raw concrete, with lighting seamlessly integrated into the architectural framework.
The bright, dynamic colors of the basketball courts create a rhythmic and engaging sports atmosphere, while the entire space is unified through a clear and integrated design logic. From the perspective of "context," this sports center transforms people into an indispensable part of the design. Breaking through the dense land constraints of the increasingly hollowed-out old urban district, the design places human activity at its core, offering a venue that fosters public life. The university's sports facilities have become a community-oriented space where people can gather and connect through sports, serving as a "public realm" for the surrounding neighborhoods.
