The Asian Games Cricket Field in Pingfeng Campus of Zhejiang University of Technology, being the official venue of The 2023 Asian Games, with its distinctive Chinese architectural image and high-level international event design standards, has been recognized by the International Cricket Council and the Asian Games Organizing Committee.
The design inspiration comes from the most common "red lanterns" in the folk, symbolizing reunion and celebration, and has long been one of China's cultural symbols. we completed the design of the cricket field through simple forms, compact spatial layouts, environmentally friendly building materials, and sustainable use of venue facilities.
"Using local materials according to local conditions," we don't want the intervention of architecture to disrupt the original field's order. The architectural style rooted in regional conditions can achieve the organic unity of architecture and nature. We used the classic red bricks of the university and extended them into the spatial forms and functions of the building, maximizing the integration of the building with the cultural heritage and historical heritage of the campus.Moreover, the architecture constructs a "big roof," combining the original campus's four-sloped roof form with the surrounding angles, forming an exaggerated sharp angle. The cantilevered eaves, following the curvature of the cricket field, create a rich space under the eaves.
The facade design, centered around "ecological aesthetics," draws inspiration from the "Rich Spring Residence" painting. It employs architectural elements, language, and an analysis of traditional landscape paintings to deconstruct the mountain's lines and angles, restoring them in the construction. Seeking a poetic space for dialogue and contemplation with nature, it aims to reconstruct contemporary Chinese indigenous architecture.
Embracing a philosophy of shared openness throughout the building's life cycle, it serves as a link between culture and life, endowing sports buildings with unique public service value.
