INTRO

Lin'an City is famous for its landscape. The idea of this

project originated from the landscape of Lin'an. Using the
freehand brushwork method, it outlines the landscape of the
mountains and rivers, which is consistent with the profound
cultural heritage of the city of Lin’an.
DESIGN CONCEPT

Integration with Nature: Hangzhou is renowned for its natural beauty,

including its famous West Lake. The design concept might focus on integrating
elements of nature into the architecture, such as incorporating natural light,
green spaces, and water features. This integration could enhance the visitor
experience and create a harmonious relationship between the building and its
surroundings.

Functionality and Flexibility: As a sports and culture center, the design

concept likely prioritizes functionality and flexibility to accommodate various
activities and events. This could involve versatile interior spaces that can be
easily reconfigured for different uses, such as sporting events, concerts,
exhibitions, and community gatherings.

Several venues are set up with
roof light pipe, which do not
need the indoor lighting
during daytime, and can
ensure the required brightness
in daily use.
All platforms are rooftop
greening, and the effect of
heat insulation is remarkable.
The gradual perforated panel
curtain outside the
gymnasium provides exterior
shading for the building,
forming the inner soft light.
Utilized advanced heat pump,
solar roofing, rainwater
collection technology, LED
lighting and other mature
energy-saving means.
