Sports Center of Zhang Village River Park, Qingdao 青岛张村河公园体育中心

Located on the south bank of the Zhang Village River in the city of Qingdao, the sports center is a complex offering a variety of exercise programs. The design emphasizes the transitional role of the sports center, bridging the scale of the park with the urban scale defined by city routes and buildings. Higher volumes are positioned along the urban route, showcasing a 100-meter-long facade, while lower volumes are placed near the riverbank, giving the enormous structure an approachable gesture for park visitors. People can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere around the sports center and engage in activities along the riverside walking path.

As a building in the park, it contains a series of terraces defining the interactional boundaries with the surrounding landscape. The central areas are the exercise halls, which need fully enclosed and separate spaces for functional purposes. However, numerous opportunities are created to allow people to enjoy the terraces, offering views of the river and fresh air. These terraces, ranging from multiple balconies to expansive rooftop playgrounds, make the sports center a natural and open structure that responds to its environment and maintains a harmonious connection with the river park. They serve as outdoor public spaces within the building, extending into the surrounding landscape. Meanwhile, the sequence of playing fields on the west side also continues upward into the sports center.

The complex features vertically organized programs that require expansive interior spaces, including a natatorium, a badminton hall, a basketball hall, and a gymnasium with sports goods retail areas. A cafeteria is set on the top floor, providing a stunning view of the entire river park. Each program is put in a distinct volume defined by its form and color to enhance the complex’s legibility. Most part of the ground floor is open-air, allowing the park to flow through and enabling visitors to continue their leisurely stroll and jogging. The path organized by a series of stairs and passages weaves vertically through the entire building, guiding park visitors to the sports facilities and terraces, ensuring the sports center integrates smoothly into the park through the movement of users and visitors.

Metal curtains are installed on the main facades of the building to create a semi-transparent effect that softens the massive scale of the complex while preserving the cubic form of its volumes. Inside, these curtains also filter sunlight, creating an ideal environment for sports activities. At night, the building transforms its appearance, with colors and lights glowing from its internal spaces, projecting a lively and dynamic presence to the city.

体育中心作为一个多功能综合体建筑位于青岛张村河公园南岸，过渡性地连接了公园与城市之间的尺度。沿道路一侧的较高建筑体量展示了100米长的建筑立面，位于河岸边的较低体量提供了亲近的姿态，弱化了巨大的建筑结构。人们在体育中心旁休闲地沿着河岸步道参与活动。公园中的体育中心包含了一系列露台，定义出与周围景观互动的建筑边界。核心区域是需要完全封闭与独立空间的运动馆，建筑创造了许多机会让人们走上露台观赏河景。这些露台从一系列阳台到大面积的屋顶运动场，使体育中心成为一个自然且开放的构筑物，与之所处的环境相呼应。它们作为建筑中的室外公共空间，延申向公园景观。基地西侧的一系列地面运动场地也向体育中心竖向延续。综合体以垂直的功能组织为特征，将一些需要大型室内空间的运动场馆安排其中，建筑的顶层设有提供欣赏美丽河道全景视野的餐饮区。每个运动功能项目被置于不同造型与色彩的体量中，增强了建筑的可识别性。一层大部分区域被处理为半室外，向公园打开，让景观从建筑中穿过使游人可在其中悠闲散步和慢跑。由一系列楼梯和走道组织而成的路径垂直地穿梭于整个建筑中，将公园游人引入体育设施和露台，通过使用者和游人的活动将体育中心融入周围环境。金属幕墙被安装于建筑的主要立面上，创造了半透明的立面效果，软化建筑综合体的巨大尺度，保留了体量的立体感。在建筑内部，这些幕墙起到过滤阳光的作用，为体育活动创造了理想的环境，晚间色彩与灯光从建筑内部空间透射出，为城市带来生动与活力。
