Taiyuan Binhe Sports Center Renovation

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2018
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
The old Taiyuan Binhe Sports Center was built in 1998, with a GFA of about 20,000m². The building hadn't been properly maintained for many years,so it was partially damaged and its interior was disorganized. In preparation for the 2019 Youth Games of China, the old sports center and its surroundings were redesigned and converted into an eco-friendly, accessible and sustainable sports park.
During renovation, the architects preserved the old sports center’s main building. They removed the three-storey floor panels on the south side to create an open and high entrance space. Moreover, they extended the full-height foyer to the east side, solving the problems of a low ceiling and oppressive public space. The newly-built public fitness center retains some of the old building’s architectural elements. The steel truss rooftop, which is made from soundproof and heatproof sandwich panels, integrates the old and new buildings by creating two outstretched wings, leaving space at the middle to create a visual corridor. The platforms separate audience from sporting event staff, and the distinctly separate competition zones facilitates flow dispersion in line with functional circulation. Besides, quiet equipment was installed indoors to minimize sound pollution.
The architects used silver-white metal curtain walls to create themain building’s facade. This facade is mainly comprised of triangular and parallelogram-shaped sections that can be adjusted based on whether it's necessary to open the windows. In addition, the project also incorporated operable glass windows and perforated curtain wallsto enhance natural light and ventilation whileenhancing textures of the facade.
Based on targeted research and optimization of existing conditions, the architects greatly enhanced the building’s energy efficiency, practicality, and comfort. The team fully considered the venue's numerous functions related to competitions, teaching, and public fitness activities along with its post-event operations to create a sustainable, long-lasting architecture.
