About International Sports and Culture Center Centre sportif et culturel

Le Centre international des sports et de la culture est un bâtiment polyvalent qui réunit sur un même site des équipements sportifs, culturels et sociaux. L'édifice se divise en trois parties principales : une zone de bureaux, une arène et un espace multifonctionnel. Un système de poutres-treillis suspendues libère les intérieurs de tout poteau, permettant d'aménager chaque lieu avec une grande flexibilité. Les fonctions sont superposées verticalement afin de s'adapter à un site urbain compact. Des espaces professionnels accueillent compétitions et expositions, tandis que des jardins et une piste de course offrent des lieux de détente et favorisent les échanges sociaux entre les citadins.

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.
