site for the 11th national sports games 2009/Shandong university of sports
Following a three round international competition process, which lasted almost a year and a half, logon was selected to design master plan, multifunction training hall, library and teaching & research buildings at the Shandong University of Sports in Jinan, a site that was for the 11th National Sports Games in 2009. logon also created a design code to homogenize the design of all buildings of the campus. Despite the considerable incline of 60m, logon transformed the area into four platforms with five functional areas, including three sports areas, one teaching area and one service area. logon successfully solved the apparent contradiction between a sports area and mountainous topography, and proposed an ecological planning concept. The sports hall is the key element on the site – it is elegant, resembling an encased jewel, partially covered by a shell and two large protective arms. In doing so, logon’s design successfully created the first “sandwich” structural system in China.
