Zhong Shan Lu Athletic Center - The project seeks to unite two existing conditions, residential towers and traditional chinese courtyard buildings with a program common to both populations, an athletic facility. Embracing the city’s networks of alleyways and public corridors, the athletic facility allows public traffic to filter through its pockets of program. Large elements of the facility are buffered by smaller spaces along the street, while the roofscape references the mountains which surround the city.
