With a floor area of 14,244 sqm, the project integrates a competition <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/pools\/\">pool<\/a><\/strong> and a training pool, serving both professional events and daily public use. Located at the foot of Hushan (Tiger Mountain) and facing Jiangshan Port, the center forms part of a broader <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/sports-centers\/\">sports<\/a><\/strong> infrastructure that includes a 4,000-seat gymnasium and a 3,000-seat stadium. Together, these elements establish a \u2018one stadium, two arenas\u2019 system that positions Jiangshan as the first county-level city in Quzhou to achieve this benchmark in public sports development.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The design takes inspiration from the city\u2019s cultural and geographic context, using the theme of \u2018river and mountain\u2019 to inform its architectural language. The form responds to the surrounding terrain with fluid, undulating surfaces, while its spatial program combines competition facilities with civic functions. The preserved base includes a lobby, auditorium, and rooftop garden, reinforcing the building\u2019s role as a public anchor. The center houses two 50-meter pools: an eight-lane competition pool and a six-lane training pool, each with a depth of two meters. Circulation is organized through a dual-ground-level system, separating athletes and spectators during daily use and further dividing audiences, athletes, media, and VIPs during competitions. This approach optimizes operational efficiency and user experience.<\/p>\n<p>all images by Shan-Jian images unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Parametric Facade Defines Hushan Sports Park Swimming Center<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The building\u2019s massing avoids symmetrical composition, instead employing transitions between horizontal, sloped, and vertical surfaces. A continuous roof structure links the two primary halls, creating a semi-open interstitial space that functions as a public threshold. The main spectator entrance is marked by an inward-folding roof form and elevated platform, emphasizing the arrival sequence and expanding opportunities for public gathering. Externally, the facade is composed of 2,943 uniquely fabricated metal panels arranged in a \u2018scaly\u2019 system. Each folded plate interacts with light and shadow to produce a dynamic surface, referencing flowing water and mountainous terrain. Parametric modeling guided the design and fabrication process, enabling digital-to-construction workflows from geometry coding to modular on-site assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the exposed roof trusses span up to 48 meters, expressing structural logic and scale. Walls and ceilings use modular finishes, colored metal panels, and perforated surfaces to create a functional yet identifiable environment. Retractable partitions allow spatial flexibility, supporting both competition requirements and community activities. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.lycs-arc.com\/\">The design team<\/a><\/strong> at LYCS Architecture considers the project as both a sports facility and a civic space. By integrating competition infrastructure, educational amenities, and public functions, the swimming center establishes a framework for multifunctional development in mid-sized cities. Its architectural expression aligns closely with the surrounding landscape while addressing contemporary demands for adaptability, efficiency, and cultural resonance.<\/p>\n<p>\nAerial Panorama from the Northeast<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPartial View of the Southeast Facade<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Main Entrance<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\nMetal Scaly Panel at Sunset<\/p>\n<p>\nLight and Shadow on the Metal Scaly Panel<\/p>\n<p>\nSecond-Floor Circulation Core<\/p>\n<p>\nCompetition Pool in Use During Events<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Competition Pool Under Light and Shadow | image by Zhang Jianjun<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\nUsage Scenarios of the Competition Pool | image by LYCS Architecture<\/p>\n<p>\nModular and \u2018Pixelated\u2019 Wall Surface<\/p>\n<p>\nNight View of the South Facade<\/p>\n<p>\nPartial Night View of the Curtain Wall<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Hushan Sports Park Swimming Center<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.lycs-arc.com\/\">LYCS Architecture<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lycsarchitecture\/\">@lycsarchitecture<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>location:<\/strong> Jiangshan, China<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> Shan-Jian images, Zhang Jianjun, LYCS Architecture<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/scale-like-facade-hushan-sports-park-swimming-center-undulating-form-lycs-architecture-china-09-30-2025\/\">scale-like facade wraps hushan swimming center\u2019s undulating form by LYCS architecture<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYCS Architecture designs Hushan Swimming Center in Jiangshan \u00a0 The Hushan Sports Park Swimming Center in Jiangshan, China, designed by LYCS Architecture, introduces the city\u2019s first professional-grade facility capable of hosting national Class B swimming &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
