ASIAN GAMES 2022 MASTER PLAN

We won the invited competition for the Asian Games 2022 Sports park & Stadiums in 2018, from 5 international competitors.

Making up the 116 acre park, are the 34,000 m2 Table Tennis stadium (5000 seats), 16,000 m2 Field Hockey stadium (5000 seats), as well as 26,000 m2 commercial mall [as valley], a 23,000 m2 fitness center, and 68,000 m2 underground parking, all with green roofs and natural ventilation.

Working in conjunction with !Melk Landscape design and Thornton Tomasetti engineers, we developed this urban “sponge city” scheme to offer an alternative view of the client's request: one that will live on far beyond the Asian Games themselves, creating stadium ‘hybrids’ that can also house concerts and theatre, and an eco park to be the future Green Lung for the city.

This winning commission also won an award in the 2019 Plan Awards [2019], and a Popular Choice Award in the Architizer A+Awards [2020]. Scroll down below the credits to keep up with publications on this collaboration, as construction finishes by 2021.
