Shanghai Zhangpu Aquatic Center
Zhangpu Aquatic Center, commissioned by the Kunshan
Municipal Government, is a sport complex that contains three different
swimming areas, two heated swimming pools for training and competition
and one outdoor swimming pool for the recreation purposes. The structure
is solved with reinforced concrete and steel trusses, the facade is
designed with U-profiled glass panels that acts as good thermal
insulation and create a soft, light and wavy skin.
The Zhangpu Aquatic Center is a building out of the ordinary from
KDG. The firm thinks that the contrast between the envelope and the
content, between the organic shape and the straight form, is the best
way to give a tribute to the water. In order to emphasise the importance
of the water and its influence over the design, the building is not a
simple cylinder; the different floors are displaced in each level, not
keeping the vertical line of façade, and this movement creates outdoor
spaces around the building and suggests the flow of the water.
