The Beijing-based firm of Ma Yangson, MAD Architects, was commissioned to build the Quzhou Sports Park, a complex spanning almost 700,000 square meters, in the city of Zhejiang. Surrounded by trees, the facilities – including a swimming pool and a hotel, among other amenities – are part of a public park where facades disappear through topographic green roofs furrowed by walking paths.
Subtly embedded into a vegetal futuristic scene, the stadium is the first completed feature of the sports park. Seating 30,000 spectators, it was designed to come across as a continuation of the undulating sinuous landscape around. The main structure is formed by sixty column walls of exposed concrete. A translucent polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane, more commonly known as Teflon, rests on a self-supporting steel frame.
