In an international competition for the Wuxi Olympic Sports Center, the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) have won first prize. Plans include a stadium for 60,000 spectators, a multi-purpose arena with a capacity of 18,000, and a competition pool with 2,000 spectator seats, as well as a fitness center, a hotel, an apartment building for the competitors, and commercial facilities – all embedded in a landscape park of about 56 hectares. The sports center is not only to be used for international and national sports events, but will also provide optimal training conditions for local athletes. Likewise, visitors and residents from neighboring residential quarters will benefit from the complex’s various leisure and sports facilities.
Located in the small town of Laghetti (Egna Municipality, Bolzano) nearby the riverbanks of the Adige river, the building sits at the foothills of Mount Corno whose natural reserve park forms a dramatic backdrop to the sports facility.
Infrastructural in character, Fieldhouse is wedged between a five-a-side football pitch to the north, the existing football field to the west and the steeping terrain to the east. With its low-lying body that transforms as it moves laterally along the site, Fieldhouse mutates from a retaining wall to a long linear roof to then become a raised groundscape that acts not only as a viewing platform for sporting events, but also as an outdoor venue for social occasions.
