The building strategy permits potential transformation

Centre into spaces for a variety of popular sporting activities, guaranteeing its continued usability and relevance after the games and encouraging the public to participate in a variety of sporting disciplines ranging from ping-pong to swimming. Fuyang Yinhu Sports Centre thus becomes a valuable asset for the entire community, offering a space for sporting activities for all. This is why the architects of UAD took every aspect into consideration, from planning of the use of space to the choice of structures, to maximise the facility’s usefulness after the event. The spectator stands are designed to be temporary, made of steel and easy to reposition elsewhere after the Games are over.

With less than two months to go until the opening of the Asian Games, Fuyang Yinhu Sports Centre offers a virtuous demonstration of how the principles of design for sports can be reconciled with Hangzhou’s rich cultural Phone Number List heritage. Attentive integration with the landscape and a sustainable approach to design ensure that UAD’s new facility is destined to make a lasting impression on the athletes and spectators alike and give the population a new place for sports, all while highlighting the beauty and charm of the host city, Fuyang. concludes Duff Balmer, design principal of Perkins&Will, with a clear reference to Habitat, the large thematic exhibition presented during the World Expo held in Montreal.



An event that led to the creation of Habitat by Moshe Safdie, a vision of urban building that uses prefabricated construction technology or Buckminster Fuller's Biosphere, to name just two landmarks of the Canadian city, North America’s first "UNESCO City of Design". Even more than years later, the desire for innovation is just as strong.With artificial intelligence, this segment allows participants to manipulate and reconstruct forms and plants to build their own Utopian Garden. The grand finale reveals the co-created masterpiece in all its splendour. But that is not the end of the voyage. On the basis of the conviction that learning is more effective when accompanied by joy, the project combines immersive entertainment with educational lessons to create an experience that encourages joy and sparks creativity. We hope to see Utopian Garden come to Europe soon.
