The Design

About Zhejiang Pinghu Sportcentrum

Zhejiang Pinghu is een sportcentrum in de stad Pinghu, ontworpen als een openbaar park voor beweging en ontspanning. De totale oppervlakte van het terrein bedraagt 146.204,13 vierkante meter. De gevel maakt gebruik van abstracte vormen die zijn ontleend aan traditionele houten constructies en frames uit de Jiangnan-regio. Lokale ginkgobomen, bladtexturen en kleuren geven vorm aan het landschap. Een 800 meter lange verhoogde hardloopbaan stelt bezoekers in staat hun trainingsgegevens in realtime te volgen. Een kooibasketbalpark, familiefitnesszones en velden voor bocce en luchtvolleybal zijn geschikt voor alle leeftijden. De oppervlakken verminderen uitglijden en het risico op blessures.

The landscape design incorporates local ginkgo trees in Pinghu City, and uses ginkgo leaf texture and color as embellishments to form a unique facade expression and overall environmental governance features.
Dimensions & Packaging: Total site area: 146,204.13 m².
The design of the reconstruction and expansion project of Pinghu Sports Center is configured according to the provincial professional sports event standards, so as to meet the competition function requirements of the 10th Games of Jiaxing and the needs of national fitness.

Production Technology: The air smart runway adopts hybrid plastic paving and integrates a number of technologies such as intelligent information equipment and AI, so that people can see their own amount of exercise when exercising, and perceive the happiness and effect of exercise.
The ground of the basketball park is made of concrete foundation and the surface is made of SES rubber suspended sports flooring.
The children's playground and the senior recreation area adopt pitch foundation, and the surface layers of the two are respectively silicon PU system and artificial turf, this can prevent slip and reduce the risk of sports injuries. The project also uses a more secure high-welded fencing and a more interesting and safer wooden finished climbing wall.
Design Challenge: The Pinghu Sports Center planned to host some events of the 10th Games of Jiaxing. The reconstruction project should be completed in about 100 days in order to ensure that the Games of Jiaxing be held on schedule, and this was a great test for design, construction arrangement, team cooperation and so on. The project time limit was tight and the task was heavy. With the support of many parties and the cooperation of team members, the project realized high-quality acceleration, and finally the acceptance was successfully completed on May 20, 2023.
