Spanning 116 acres, the 2023 Asian Games Masterplan by Archi-Tectonics contains three HYBRIDS and four EARTH Buildings. The firm presented its exhibition Strange Objects at Palazzo Bembo during the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, displaying a 7-meter-long 3D printed section model and a photo wall featuring completed Masterplan for Hangzhou China.
Archi-Tectonics claimed the international competition with an innovative scheme integrating architecture and landscape into a three-dimensional landform. Built around a Sponge-City strategy, the site delivers a year-round recreational green oasis that acts as an urban green lung to restore local ecosystems. The Hybrids, a Field-Hockey Stadium and a Stadium / Concert Hall occupy opposite ends of the mile-long park. A road and river divide the park; the third Hybrid: a “Valley-Village” retail corridor connects the sections of the park and serves as the central spine.
