Entry Description

Lin’an Sports and Culture Center is one of the venues for the 2022 Asian Games. It’s positioned as a new mixed-use complex that serves for sports events, commercial activities, and public recreation. The sports center accommodates multiple functional spaces, including gymnasium, natatorium, stadium, training hall, commercial spaces, and urban parks. With gigantic and intricate building volumes, it naturally blends into the surroundings, and subtly integrates natural and built environments, making it a novel sports complex featuring unique form.
