Three crystalline sports venues — stadium, arena, and aquatic centre — rising around an artificial lake.
This guide to the Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre traces its 2011 opening for the Summer Universiade, when thousands of student athletes arrived for architecture firm von Gerkan, Marg and Partners' white light concept — three crystalline venues around an artificial lake. It follows the stadium's cantilevered roof and lakeside LED lighting, then jumps to September 2018, when workers laid a temporary ice sheet across the arena floor in summer heat for an NHL game far from home.
