Gongshu Canal Sports Park, located in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, is the only newly built Asian Games venue group in the main urban area of Hangzhou, consisting of "one venue, one square and two centers". According to the setting of "South Hall North Venue", the shape of the stadium is taken from the Liangzhu culture "Yuqiang", and the shape of the stadium is derived from the Jiangnan oil-paper umbrella, which is called "Hangzhou umbrella". A reporter from CCTV recently visited the Gongshu Canal Sports Park to see the report he sent back.
CCTV reporter Huang Da: Behind us is the venue where the Asian Games hockey competition is held, because it has a shape that resembles an oil-paper umbrella, so the locals also call it "Hangzhou umbrella". A few hundred meters away from us is the venue of the table tennis competition. Its design is derived from the jade chang, a typical artifact of the Liangzhu culture found in Zhejiang. The symbol of Jiangnan water town culture, the memory of history meets because of the Asian Games.
When the Asian Games meet Chinese culture, how to play the colorful chorus of Asian civilization has become a source of inspiration for Asian Games venue designers.
CCTV reporter Huang Da: It is necessary to have a sense of historical mottling, and at the same time to establish a stable exterior finish for this oversized "jade", only the material of the exterior finish, the designers have been looking for nearly a year, and the yellow anodized aluminum I have on hand was finally selected. It can not only keep the color unchanged for more than ten years, at the same time, but also has the function of self-cleaning, and the dust of the entire exterior finish can be cleaned when it rains in Jiangnan.
As one of the newly built venues, the Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium is full of history, but it has a meticulous "heart". As the only venue for table tennis, the requirements for venue facilities are not limited to the floor, table tennis cases, and even the size of the wind in the venue is also a problem that designers must consider.
Jeremy Walker, Olympic Council of Asia reporter and manager of Asian Sport magazine: I think the organizers have designed it very well, they have designed it with a future-oriented vision, especially climate change in their design, and the energy consumption is as low as possible. These are small changes, but when they come together, they are a huge advance in the design of these venues.
CCTV reporter Huang Da: Under the sunset, a green corridor connects golden jade and white oil-paper umbrellas, in the garden under the corridor is the figure of sports and the smiling faces of children, the venue of the Asian Games is not only the venue of the competition, it has been deeply integrated into the life circle of the people, green, intelligent, national health, this dynamic keyword is bursting out a new power in the historical city of Hangzhou because of the Asian Games.
