Architects: Zaha Hadid Architects
Zaha Hadid Architects created the Hangzhou International Sports Centre for the city’s Future Science and Technology Cultural District. It has not yet been determined when it will be finished.
It will be available for use by both amateur and professional athletes and was commissioned by the management committee of the cultural district to accommodate the expanding population of the city.
The three venues will have circular shapes from the outside, but they will be connected by a terraced podium that winds between them and their “striated” edges.
Zaha Hadid Architects created these forms as a tribute to the terraced tea estates on the hillsides surrounding Hangzhou.
