*대나무 숲, 그리고 스타디움 [ gmp architekten ] bao’an stadium

대나무 숲을 연상시키는 그린 컬럼들은
스타디움 주위의 랜드스케이핑 바운더리를 형성한다.
모티베이션을 현실화한 공간과 기능적인 구조의 만남은
더블로 열주되어 있는 스틸파이프의 다중적인 공간감을 이루며
내부의 콘크리트 스탠드와 묘한 깊이감을 자아낸다.
태양과 비바람에 대하여 선수와 관객들을 안전하게 보호해줄
루프 멤브레인은 자전거 휠의 스포크가 휠에서 발생하는 압력을 효과적으로
분산하여 안정적인 균형미를 맞추듯이 수평의 긴 타원형을 따라
엇갈려 배치함으로써 안정감있는 구조미를 보여준다.
가벼우면서도 진중한 컨셉과 구조미의 조화는
스타디움을 여러 사람들에게 좋은 공간으로
인식시킨다.

hamburg-based practice gmp architekten has designed and completed the 'bao’an stadium' located in shenzen, china.
bordered by a series of inclined columns intended to resemble a forest of bamboo, the striated boundary reflects the
landscape of the immediate surroundings. the slender load bearing frame becomes the structure for the undulating roof
element while changing light and shadow effects upon the perimeter spaces.

visitors meander through the permeable facade and enter the interior through the grand stairs placed around the form.
the circular volume is bisected by an oval shaped upper tier producing a varied seating arrangement with more seats along the oval's elongated sides and fewer along the short sides. capable of accommodating 40,000 spectators, the athletic facility will be used for soccer matches during international sporting events.

a double row of steel tubes support the membrane roof's deep eave which creates the sheltered promenade that encircles the facility.
each standing at 32 meters tall and ranging from 550 mm to 800 mm in diameter, loads from the roof membrane are transferred directly to the foundations while the building's lateral stability is provided with 36additional cables. tension rings positioned at varied heights are linked together with 18 meter high connections. used in conjunction with a compressionring, the building balances forces similar to the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle.
