A Holistic Sports Park.
Sport, nature and culture are treated as connected themes. This relationship gives the development an identity beyond the enclosure of a single hall.
More Than Training Alone.
Open exercise, relaxation, art, music and events sit alongside the sporting program. The vision brings different reasons to visit into one park rather than separating sport from everyday social life.
