HYBRID STADIUM &
CONCERT HALL [LEED PLATINUM]
Hybrid Building evoking the region’s heritage,
developed with parametric design and optimized
design
VISION
The 6,500-seat 377,000sf Hybrid Stadium & Concert Hall
is the architectural centerpiece of the project, which will
serve as a venue for sports events during the Games, and
afterwards be adapted as a cultural center for concerts
and performances, hence becoming an asset for the city.
INNOVATION
Starting with a geometry inspired by the Cong, an ancient
Hangzhou jade-stone artifact, Archi-Tectonics parametrically
designed this optimized shape to facilitate the stadium’s
conversion from a sports arena to a performance venue.
The stadium features a suspen-dome roof resting on the
inner bowl and cantilevering out to support the outer shells
with brass shingle cladding and a glass diagrid. The choice
to keep the the glass planar on a double-curved surface led
to the design of aluminum ‘eyelids’, which optimized costs,
construction time and beauty. The interior arena is entirely
clad in locally sourced bamboo, and receives natural light and
air through a ring of openable windows and a central skylight.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT
The Hybrid Stadium & Concert Hall was designed with
sustainability as a top priority. It incorporates passive energy
strategies such as natural daylighting, ventilation, and water
cooling via wetlands to reduce energy demand. The structure
uses renewable and recycled materials, including bamboo and
brass. Through BIM-driven optimization, the project minimized
material waste, reduced embodied carbon, and accelerated
construction by 20%. These strategies earned the project
GBEL 3-Star certi昀椀cationChina’s highest green building rating,
positioning the stadium as a benchmark for sustainable, highperformance architecture.
