China Hangzhou E-sports Center, China
Designed by CSADI, Hangzhou E-sports Center is located in the Beijingyuan Ecological Park at the southern foot of Gaoting Mountain. It was the first standard stadium for Asian Games E-sports competitions in China after E-sports is confirmed as an official competition event of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. This is a public place integrating a sports venue and ecological park. The sunken plazas and courtyards around the building bring sunlight and air to the underground space, providing a pleasant place for the outdoor display and for people to communicate and rest.
CSADI focuses on the "interstellar vortex"-like motion trajectory between celestial bodies in the galaxy caused by gravity and displays this concept vividly in the design of the appearance and surrounding landscape of the center of the e-sports. The dynamic and smooth silver building is like a “star warship” traveling through time and space, connecting fantasy and reality, and integrating architecture and environment.
The main body of the building adopts a sinking strategy to place most of the functional space underground to minimize the building volume on the ground. At the same time, fully considering the ground car-free, people and vehicles are introduced into the venue from underground in a three-dimensional way, effectively breaking the shackles of complex traffic conditions around the venue.
The audience hall surrounds the central circular competition hall, connecting different floors into a huge flowing space, and the structural form is perfectly integrated with the architectural space. The large and small skylights on the roof, shaped like stars rotating around the center of the nebula, introduce natural light into the interior of the audience hall. The electrochromic glass skylight on the roof automatically adjusts the amount of heat radiation entering the building by sensing the outdoor temperature, providing a comfortable indoor environment for spectators.
