Toyo Ito’s World Games Stadium In Kaohsiung, Taiwan Opens

World Games Stadium // Kaohsiung // Taiwan // Toyo Ito

Designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, the World Games’ Main Stadium was unveiled yesterday at an opening ceremony.

The stadium consists of approximately 8 844 solar panels on a surface area of 14 155m2 integrated into the roof construction. The form which emulates that of a flowing river, depending on the sunshine, can cover 75 % of the energy needs. On days when no competitions will take place, the electricity generated is fed into the grid. The new, architecturally impressive sports arena is also Taiwan’s largest photovoltaic installation to date. Toyo Ito planned the ultra-modern stadium in accordance with the ecological requirements of a ‘Green Building’.

With more than 40 000 seats it is surrounded by a vast new public park including palm trees and tropical plants.

Visitors arriving from downtown via public transportation walk down a broad boulevard before turning into the plaza. At the stadium’s narrowest section ticket windows and restaurants are housed. Concourses and upper level seating are supported by a ring of concrete structures.

Structure: steel frame, reinforced concret
Scale: 3 stories, 2 basements
Site Area: 189,012.00m²
Building Area: 25,553.46m²
Total Floor Area: 98,759.31m²
