Universiade 2011 Sports Centre by GMP Architekten



Faceted glass triangles create glowing crowns around a trio of stadiums for the World University Games currently taking place in Shenzhen. The three Universiade stadiums were designed by German studio GMP Architekten and surround an artificial lake. The largest of the three buildings is the main events arena, which seats up to 60,000 spectators in three tiered stands. The second stadium hosts indoor activities including ice skating and the third houses a swimming pool for aquatic events. The closing ceremony for the games takes place on 23 August.
