About International Sports and Culture Center Office
International Sports and Culture Center is a mixed-use building that combines sports, cultural and social facilities in one site. The building is divided into three main parts: an office area, an arena and a multifunctional space. A hanging truss system creates column-free interiors, so each venue can be arranged with great flexibility. The functions are stacked vertically to suit a compact urban site. Professional venues host competitions and exhibitions, while gardens and a running track offer leisure space and encourage social interaction among citizens.

- Design Challenge
- Client requires designated social activities combined as One Hub in a limited site area. At the same time, sports venue standard should also be met in order to hold professional competitions.
- Research
- By looking back at the contemporary cultural and sports facility development in Shenzhen, there were two waves in the city’s history. They were in the 1980s and 2000s. With the development of the time, the design of the venues has become larger and the use of functions has become more comprehensive.
- Inspiration
- Since Shenzhen is the most rapidly urbanized and developed city in China, traditional sports or culture centers with individual functions will not fit this compact urban context. With the site limitation, functions and spaces are vertically stacked up creating a new type of Vertical Sports-Culture Mix. A series of public spaces are blended in to the functional area to encourage social interaction.
