Quzhou Stadium manifests as a piece of "land art" that submerges itself into a futuristic landscape of hills, sunken gardens, and a lake. Breaking away from conventional sports complexes that signify progress and power, this project seeks to bring together elite competition among professional athletes with the physical activities of everyday people. The sports spirit is supplemented by an oasis of urban parkland, contributing to the city’s cultural life. Quzhou is a historical city with extensive forestry covering more than 70% of its land area.
