【Case Appreciation】Hangzhou Asian Games E-Sports Hall

The steel structure of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games E-Sports Stadium has been topped recently. This is not only a structure, but also an important node for the architecture to express logic and aesthetics in the progress of the project. When the main body of structure without any concealment is presented to the world, we can be sure that architecture, to a certain extent, is the scientific art of expressing ideas with structure.

The relationship between architecture and structure, structure and space constitutes the most important part of the entire architectural design. The structure should not only obey the vassal of the architectural form, there is a coordinated and mutually restrictive relationship between the building and the structure. We pursue the fusion of structural power and beauty, explore the intersection of structural materials, structural nodes, and artistic modeling, and express the structural rhythm and order of architecture with poetic romance.

The center of the main structure is a circular steel frame structure, and the roof adopts a cable-supported grid structure with a maximum span of 70 meters, which echoes the shape of the stadium, and is a rounded triangular plane.

On the periphery of the circular steel frame, 48 solid-web steel beams and oblique columns with varying cross-sections are connected with the internal concrete-filled steel tube columns to form a whole. The structural form is perfectly integrated with the architectural shape, like a natural growth organism in the landscape of the earth, creating a building with poetic movement.

The E-Sports arena is located in a city park with strict building height and land occupation restrictions. The design embeds most of the volume underground, and only exposes the dynamic and elegant main stadium to the ground. The circular main competition hall is located in the center of the building. Three halls are arranged around the competition hall. Between the competition hall and the hall, there are spaces for broadcasting, VIP, storage and canteens. The underground is equipped with referees, coaches, athletes, news media and various equipment functions, and is connected with the sunken courtyard and square.

The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games E-Sports Stadium is expected to be completed in the near future.
