Floating Stadium
Atlanta Exterior Space Stadium
Time: 09/2022 - 12/2022
Location: Atlanta Midtown
Project type: Gatech 2022Fall Studio Final
Individual Project
Project Introduction
Inspired from exterior space typology research, I designed space combining two circulation spaces: alley and viaduct. They create a leading path connecting all the programs of the stadium, and provide mixed experiences of compression and opennes. In order to extend the circulation vertically, I make most of the stadium programs floating in different levels including the infinite pool on the second floor and the basketball court on top of the building. It also leaves a pocket garden on the ground floor next to the street corner to draw people into the space. I designed varying sizes of programs from 8’x8’ and 10’x10’ furnitrue-like structures to 30’x30’ sports room. The smaller cubes hanging on the trusses and are used as small gardens, resting area, and little shops; and spacially they extend from under the floor and above the ceiling to decorate and form the alley and viaduct spaces.

Diagrams and Sketches
"Alley" is space about compression with wall on both sides and "Viaduct" is space about open with air on both sides.

Develop new forms by combining these two types of circulation spaces and let it "grow" in three-dimension space.
