ASIAN GAMES 2022 MASTER PLAN

We won the invited competition for the Asian Games 2022 Sports park & stadiums in 2018, from 5 international competitors. Now under construction, this collaborative project has been awarded the 2019 PLAN Award Honorable Mention, the 2020 Architizer A+ Popular Choice Award, and the 2020 Longtu Cup National BIM Contest First Prize!

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.
