The Design

About International Sports and Culture Center Centro Deportivo y Cultural

El Centro Internacional de Deportes y Cultura es un edificio de uso mixto que reúne instalaciones deportivas, culturales y sociales en un mismo emplazamiento. El edificio se divide en tres partes principales: una zona de oficinas, un pabellón y un espacio multifuncional. Un sistema de cerchas suspendidas genera interiores libres de pilares, de modo que cada recinto puede organizarse con gran flexibilidad. Las funciones se apilan verticalmente para adaptarse a un solar urbano compacto. Los recintos profesionales acogen competiciones y exposiciones, mientras que los jardines y una pista de atletismo ofrecen espacios de ocio y fomentan la interacción social entre los ciudadanos.

Production Technology: Hanging truss structural system
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.
