INTERNATIONAL SPORTS AND CULTURE EXCHANGE CENTER

The International Sports and Cultural Exchange Centre in Futian, Shenzhen has realised a new building model of optimising a limited plot, meeting the diverse needs of citizens for cultural and sports facilities. Strategically placed on the south lower floors, the high-traffic main venue “IN space” is secured with the greatest accessibility. The public plaza and a multifunctional hall below the main venue serve to provide outdoor event space, entertaining the possibility of hosting music festivals, “vertical marathons” and a range of largescale events. The 3,600 m running track threads all functional programs and open spaces within the building, providing a unique route for citizens to explore the building and enjoy the cityscape at different heights and directions.
