This AIA Los Angeles 2015 Merit Award project consists of a 35,000 seat stadium for soccer/track + field, 5000 seat arena and 2000 seat practice field and retail. It is a state of the art facility with all of the modern features that represent current trends in Sports architecture as a complete mixed-use project. The building is an architectural showpiece for Hwaseong, projecting a sophisticated image that transcends sports and creates harmony with the local community and the natural topography surrounding it. The arena and stadium, by their connectivity, create new synergies that are not typical of other sport complexes.
A dramatic feature of the design is the “synergy zone” between the stadium and arena. This covered plaza is defined by an organic opening that defines an area of vertical access between the main public concourse and retail space. It reinforces the retail diagram by creating a direct link that creates a sense of place and space during times when the stadium/arena are operational or not in use. When in use, it creates a dramatic connection that will enhance retail by capturing the many spectators that gather for games. Fans can shop and eat both before and after events stimulating sales. The space also provides a congregation zone for public gathering that is sheltered from the weather. This will be a hub of activity uniting multiple events into a vibrant mixing and gathering zone. It is a grand and unique space that will enhance the Hwaseong sports complex like no other sports facility in Korea.
