SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The building adopts 7 continuous concrete arch structures to form the shape and internal space, which mainly solves two problems: span and water vapor corrosion. On the span, cast-in-place concrete is used for arches and curved roofs. The structure itself is the architectural space and does not require additional beams and columns to form an interior. The concrete arch is connected to the foundation and buried in the soil to resist its own lateral thrust. On the water vapor corrosion, the moisture in the swimming pool will evaporate and continuously corrode the metal components, leading to the need for continuous inspection and maintenance during later operation. However, concrete can exist stably for a long time, reducing maintenance costs.
The concrete surface inside the swimming pool is not painted or decorated, and all lighting fixtures, ventilation equipment, etc. are installed on both sides of the venue, presenting the most realistic structure and materials inside. The exterior of the building is made of red ceramic tiles and hung dry, which can ensure that there is no need to replace them for about 100 years. The scale of ceramic tiles is similar to that of bricks, using staggered assembly. The effect of handicrafts contrasts with the huge size of concrete, allowing people to touch and feel this exquisite construction technology. The swimming pool is designed with the concept of "real tectonic". Glass, ceramic tiles, aluminum alloy, and concrete are all the natural colors of the materials without excessive decoration. The structure, space, and materials are integrated to present the most authentic side of the building.
