unstudio has won the limited competition for a 40,000 spectator football stadium
for the most successful club in the chinese super league: dalian shide fc. the stadium
will be built in the club’s hometown of the city of dalian, on the southern tip of liaodong
peninsula in northeast china.the design for the 38,500 m2 stadium has been based on
the colourful layering and overlapping of the ancient chinese cuju football. it weaves
together the collective spirit of the spectators with the public realm and the urban context
of the building. the main stadium houses spectator seating, tv broadcasting centre,
administration areas, vip lounge, players facilities and public concourse in a layered
envelope which extends on ground level to provide outdoor public areas above decked
parking facilities. in addition, the design incorporates two training fields on
the 144,000 m2 site.

unstudio’s design for the dalian football stadium reacts to this setting by orientating
the building in order to maximise both the use of existing transport modes and the views
of the surrounding sea and mountains, whilst providing a unique sporting venue for
the population of the dalian.

essential to the stadium typology is the experience of the spectator. aside from the basic
function of a stadium as an arena for spectator sport with one central focal point,
stadium design requires the consideration of many essential structural, programmatic,
contextual, infrastructural and stylistic elements and the incorporation of these into
a strong, integral gesture. infrastructural considerations include ease of access and evacuation,
visitor routing and parking facilities, while contextual considerations form an important
element in both the relationship of the stadium to the city, its surroundings and its orientation
with regard to nearby transport modes.

unstudio’s design for the dalian stadium presents an inclusive approach to stadium
design where the articulation of the structure and the openings and overlapping moments
of its double-layered envelope serve as the starting point for visitor experience and programmatic
and infrastructural requirements, in addition to heightening spectator experience in terms
of proximity to the playing field.

Populous，一个刚从合理利用资源型建筑行业先锋HOK公司分离出的新建筑企业已经将他们设计的——2014年俄罗斯索契冬奥会中心体育场设计方案呈现在众人面前。虽然这项计划任然还有许多未知数，但该项目将会在体育馆那闪耀发光的水晶外衣中包含合理利用资源的设计元素。

半透明的外形将体现“在夜晚发出绚丽的色彩及体现赛场的壮观景象”，同时，体育场可以容纳40000人观看比赛。索契申报冬奥会的核心理念就是合理利用资源，尽管目前为止还没有在新体育场项目中公布具体的“绿色”特性。不过我们已经看到，在近些年来经合组织国的许多体育场，先进的材料科学、轻量化结构、尽可能的利用自然光及自然通风等设计理念已逐渐成为重要角色。

Populous最高负责人John Barrow表示：“主体育场的修建，除了作为2014年冬奥会的比赛场馆使用及将冬奥会以精彩的视觉效果呈现给大家之外，还将使它成为索契宝贵的可继续使用遗产。体育馆将利用它水晶外型在白天与索契的海岸以及山峦融为一体，并且在夜晚用它的光芒呈现出绚丽的色彩及比赛的壮观景象。我们将为奥运史上有这样高等级的场馆而感到自信和骄傲。”Populous公司仅仅在他开始发展的第一年就表现出了的快速发展及规模的扩大给众人留下了深刻的印象。2008年12月，他们已经在2012年伦敦奥运会体育场项目中竞标成功。
